چکیده

Development of Rhodnius prolixus after eclosion until the adult stage was studied at constant temperatures (T), 15, 20, 25, 28, 35 C, and relative humidities (RH), 75, 86 and 97%, and fluctuating (16/8 hr) temperatures, T I/II, 15/28 C, 20/25 C, 25/28 C and 25/35 C, and relative humidities, RH I/II, 86/75% and 97/75%. Eclosion or molting were not observed at 15 C and 86 or 97% RH, respectively. At 35 C and 75% RH only few insects molted. By alternating T I/II, 15/28 C and 25/35 C, insects developed at high frequency. Cumulating the average lengths of the interphases within independent groups for each instar, R. prolixus reached the adult stage most rapidly (86.7 days) and at highest frequency per instar (mean: 91.8%) at 28 C and 75% RH. Under fluctuating T I/II, development was completed within 100 days or less at 25/28 C and 25/35 C with high rates of hatch and molting. Development was slowest at fluctuating TI/II, 15/28 C and 20/25 C (>185 days), and at constant 20 C (>300 days). Mortality was higher at constant 97% RH or fluctuating RH I, 97%, than at constant or fluctuating 86% RH. Refeeding was minimal at optimal conditions of T and RH for development. The most refeeding was observed at a constant 35 C.

Draft Genome Sequence of Rhodococcus rhodnii Strain LMG5362, a Symbiont of Rhodnius prolixus (Hemiptera, Reduviidae, Triatominae), the Principle Vector of Trypanosoma cruzi

We report the 4,385,577-bp high-quality draft assembly of the bacterial symbiont Rhodococcus rhodnii strain LMG5362, isolated from the gut of Rhodnius prolixus (Hemiptera, Reduviidae, Triatominae), the principle vector of the protozoan Trypanosoma cruzi, the etiological agent of Chagas disease. This sequence might provide useful information for subsequent studies of the symbiotic relationship b...

Effects of sublethal dose exposure to dieldrin on Rhodnius prolixus (Hemiptera: Reduviidae) under laboratory conditions.

The effects of a sublethal dose of Dieldrin (7.2 x 10(-5) g/day) were evaluated on oxygen consumption, survivorship, moulting and reproduction of Rhodnius prolixus. No difference was found in oxygen consumption between treated and control male insect. Survivorship proved to be very much affected by the sublethal exposure, but this was strongly dependent on the feeding stage of the individuals. ...

Repellence Produced by Monoterpenes on Rhodnius prolixus (Hemiptera: Reduviidae) Decreases After Continuous Exposure to These Compounds

Botanical monoterpenes are secondary metabolites present in essential oils produced by plants. Some of them are insect repellents. The bloodsucking bug Rhodnius prolixus Ståhl (Hemiptera: Reduviidae) is one of the main vectors of Chagas disease in the north of South America and some countries in Central America. In this study, we studied the repellence produced by two monoterpenes, menthyl acet...
