Feeding response of the haematophagous bugs Rhodnius prolixus and Triatoma infestans to saline solutions: a comparative study
A comparative study of the intake response to saline solutions was made in Rhodnius prolixus and Triatoma infestans by examining the effects of saline concentration and starvation period. Both species imbibed a 0.15 M NaCl solution in the absence of phagostimulants. Whereas third-instar larvae of T....
