OverviewAI-generated summary
Keity J. Farfán‐Pira's research focuses on the comparative study of insect species and the investigation of parasitic infections. Recent publications include work on the stridulatory groove in *Triatoma* species from Mexico and a comparative analysis of the *vestigial* gene's regulatory sequences in *Drosophila* species, examining its role in wing evolution. Farfán‐Pira has also investigated the ultrastructure of *Entamoeba histolytica* and *Giardia lamblia* cysts on produce and developed a heteroduplex assay for identifying triatomine vectors of Chagas disease. Further research includes analyzing differential gene regulation in *Drosophila* wing development using high-dimensional imaging pipelines. Collaborations include work with Timothy A. Evans, Erica L. Westerman, Grace E. Hirzel, and Chance Powell, all at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville.
