Salivary apyrases of Triatoma infestans are assembled into homo-oligomers.
Apyrase activity is present in the saliva of haematophagous arthropods. It is related to blood-feeding because of the apyrase ability to hydrolyse ADP, a key component of platelet aggregation. Five apyrases with apparent molecular masses of 88, 82, 79, 68 and 67 kDa were identified in the saliva of the vector of Chagas disease, Triatoma infestans. The large size observed during purification of ...
متن کامل[Population interactions between Triatoma infestans and Triatoma sordida].
Populations of T. infestans and T. sordida were studied between September 1988 and April 1989 with a view to discovering if any kind of interaction took place between them while they lives together in the same experimental unit and exploited the same food resource (chicken). The initial age structure for each species was: 27 N1, 7 N2, 11 N3, 3 N4, 8 N5, 4 males and 10 females. The population dy...

متن کاملLipid thermotropic transitions in Triatoma infestans lipophorin.
The structure and lipid thermotropic transitions of highly purified lipophorin of Triatoma infestans were examined by several techniques: steady-state fluorescence polarization of 1,6-diphenyl-1,3,5-hexatriene (DPH), cis-parinaric acid (cis-PnA) and trans-parinaric acid (trans-PnA), light scattering fluorescence energy transfer between the lipophorin tryptophan residues and the bound chromophor...
متن کاملTriatoma infestans in Greater Buenos Aires, Argentina.
The Health Administration Agencies of many municipalities in Greater Buenos Aires (GBA) receive frequent reports on triatomines in houses. The aim of this work was to identify and describe the dispersal foci of Triatoma infestans in an urban neighborhood of GBA, and contribute to the knowledge of the epidemiological situation in the region. In June 1998, potentially infested places were entomol...
