Editor’s summary
Evaluation of two DNA extraction techniques and the effect of blood meal digestion in the context of a mosquito blood meal analysis using PCR-sequencing. The authors found that Qiagen DNA extraction kit was superior to the HotSHOT technique and the mosquitoes with a fresher blood meal produced higher percent success with the blood meal analysis result.

Editor’s summary
This paper describes that mice inoculated with Triatoma Virus (TrV) did not show any behavioural alteration or clinical signals of viral infection (e.g. leg paralysis, food intake rate, lost of weight, motility decrease and death), when compared with mice inoculated with empty TrV particles or saline solution. No PCR products were detected from blood samples of any groups of mice inoculated and is no significant difference in the IgG2a/IgG1 ratio between inoculated mice with full or empty of TrV particles, suggesting that TrV is not infective in mice. Image:This image demonstrates the following steps: (1) the purification of full and empty TrV particles, (2) injection of TrV particles in the murine model, (3) PCR for detecting of TrV in blood samples.
