  CDC - Ecologic Niche Modeling and Potential Reservoirs for Chagas Disease, Mexico
These associations constitute an approximation of species’ fundamental ecologic niches (the conjunction of ecologic conditions in which a species is able to maintain populations without immigration) (4) and hence provide a basis for understanding numerous ecologic and geographic phenomena related to species distributions.
The protracta species complex is unusual in that Ryckman studied and documented the ectoparasite-host relationships (1), which provided an independent source of information regarding Triatoma-rodent interactions.
That is, a Triatoma species does not simply infest the nests of whichever Neotoma are present at a particular site; rather, geographic distributions of Triatoma species tend to conform closely to those of their Neotoma hosts, suggesting a longer term evolutionary relationship.

 Kissing bugs (Triatoma) and the skin
There are 16 species and 18 subspecies of Triatoma in the United States, distributed in the southern 2/3 of the country; additional related species and genera are common in Central and South America.[2] The kissing bug is dorso-ventrally flattened and is armed with a long, piercing proboscis.
Triatoma insects go through 5 molts before reaching maturity.[3] Their typical North American animal hosts include woodrats, opossum, raccoons and armadillos.[2,3] The insects are suspected to also feed off of many domestic pets and the wild animals that are abundant around human habitats.
In addition, the triatomine bugs of Central and South America are vectors of Chagas' disease (trypanosomiasis) which is caused by the parasitic protozoan Trypanosoma cruzi.[1,10] The mechanism of infection from Chagas' disease is not via feeding but instead through contamination of the wound or other bodily portals by fecal material during or shortly after feeding.

 Chagas Disease - Encyclopedia.WorldSearch   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
It is caused by the protozoan Trypanosoma cruzi, one of the kinetoplastid flagellates, transmitted to humans by triatomine insects known in the different countries as assassin bug, vinchuca, kissing bug, chipo, barbeiro, etc. Common triatomine vector species for trypanosomiasis belong to the genera Triatoma, Rhodinius, and Panstrongylus.
The most common transmitting species are Triatoma protracta and Triatoma infestans.
The disease causing agent is closely related to that of African sleeping sickness, although the assassin bug vector is not related to the tsetse fly, which carries African sleeping sickness.

 Chagas disease - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Those insects are known by numerous common names varying by country, including assassin bug, benchuca, vinchuca, kissing bug, chipo, barbeiro, et cetera.
Other forms of transmission are possible, though, such as ingestion of food contaminated with parasites, blood transfusion and fetal transmission.
Prevention is centered on fighting the vector (Triatoma) by using sprays and paints containing insecticides (synthetic pyrethroids), and improving housing and sanitary conditions in the rural area.

Triatoma protracta (commonly called called Western Conenose, vinchuca, Mexican bedbugs or Kissing Bug) is an assassin bug of the order Hemiptera and the family Reduviidae.
The problem is that the feeding process can cause anaphylactic shock or even Chagas disease as the insect is the vector for the trypanosome responsible.
Other species include Triatoma sanguisuga, Triatoma lecticularia, Triatoma indictiva, Triatoma rubrofasciata and a lot more.

This 3/4-inch, brown-fl nocturnal insect, whose wings form a distinctive "X" when folded over the abdomen, also goes by the name of the "kissing bug" or, as it is known in Latin America, "vinchuca."
If you believe you have been bitten by this bug, you should contact your personal physician.

 Conenose Bug Management Guidelines--UC IPM
Most members of this family are predators of other insects, but the conenose bugs (also known as kissing bugs), in the genus Triatoma, are bloodsucking parasites of a wide variety of domestic and wild animals and humans.
The only important species in California is Triatoma protracta, the western bloodsucking conenose, whereas in the southern United States from the Atlantic Ocean to Arizona the most important pest species is Triatoma sanguisuga.
Triatoma protracta frequently lives in aggregations in the nests of wood rats (Neotoma spp.), but also flies into homes and may feed on people.

The bugs' usual hosts are not humans, but warm-blooded animals in the wild, like woodrats etc. The bugs usually hide in or near their hosts' resting places, and they prefer all the places that are narrow, dark, and offer good contact to their body.

Searching for morphometric differences between sexes in immature forms, the development of genital plates in the exuviae of Triatoma pallidipennis Stål 1872 nymphs was studied.
Differences were found in the form and size of the 9th genital urosternite, it is larger and wider in males as compared to females.
Galliard (1935) was first to report morphological evidence from genital plates as useful for sexing 5th nymphal stage in Triatoma protracta (Uhler 1894), T. dimidiata (Latreille 1811) and Rhodnius prolixus, Stål 1872.

The Hemiptera are a successful and ecologically diverse order of insects, which share a distinctive, highly derived mouthpart morphology.
This group encompasses species as varied as leafhoppers and water striders, but also include serious crop pests such as cicadas, aphids and scale, as well as the Chagas disease vector, Triatoma protracta.
What makes the Hemiptera unique is the modification of their mandibular and maxillary mouthparts, which exist as long tubular stylets, supported by a completely fused, jointed labium.
