Baker's yeast, an attractant for baiting traps for Chagas' disease vectors

We tested the attraction of volatile compounds, produced by the aerobic growth of Saccharomyces cerevisiae on saccharose for Triatoma infestans. For these tests, we exploited the behavioural characteristic of these haematophagous insects of dropping when searching for food. In olfactometer assays, y...
