Biology of Triatominae (Reduviidae Hemiptera) from North of Formosa County (Goiás-Brazil) I. Length of life cycle of Triatoma sordida (Stal. 1859)

Chagas disease vectors identification using visible and near-infrared spectroscopy

“…Thus, when the researchers want to determine the species, only two solutions are available: rearing the insects up to adult emergence, or using biomolecular tools. In the first case, the rearing of the insects is time and money consuming because the time to pass to another stage lasts from one to several months [18][19][20]. This also requires an adequate place in terms of temperature, humidity, and food.…”

Temperature and development rate of Triatoma guasayana (Hemiptera: Reduviidae) eggs under laboratory conditions: physiological and adaptive aspects

“…The first record is that of Klug (1834) with Triatoma infestans (cited in Neiva, 1913 ), who used different controlled temperatures between 15 and 34 °C. Subsequently, many publications have reported the develop-ment rates of triatomine eggs at controlled temperatures, particularly for the species of highest epidemiological importance: Triatoma brasiliensis ( Pinto Soares et al , 2000;Guarneri et al , 2003 ), Triatoma dimidiata ( Zeledón et al , 1970;Martínez-Ibarra et al , 2001 ), Triatoma garciabesi , Triatoma guasayana , T. infestans , Triatoma patagonica , Triatoma rubrovaria , Triatoma sordida , Triatoma eratyrusiforme , Triatoma ninoi , Triatoma delpontei and Triatoma platensis ( Carcavallo & Martínez, 1972 ), T. guasayana ( Ghilini, 1982 ) , T. infestans ( Hack, 1955 ), Triatoma pallidipennis ( Martínez-Ibarra & Katthain-Duchateau, 1999 ), T. patagonica ( Visciarelli et al , 2001 ), Triatoma pseudomaculata ( Gonçalves et al , 1997;Pinto Soares et al , 2000 ), Triatoma picturata ( Barbosa & Garcia da Silva, 2001 ), Triatoma rubrofasciata ( Braga et al , 1998 ), T. sordida ( Mello, 1976 ), Panstrongylus geniculatus ( Cabello & Galíndez, 1998 ), Rhodnius neglectus (Da Silva Rocha et al , 2001a;Freitas et al , 1967;Mello, 1977 ), Rhodnius pictipes ( Da Silva Rocha et al , 1995 ) and Rhodnius robustus (Da Silva Rocha et al , 2001b;Jurberg & Ferreira Rangel, 1980 ).…”

“…Other publications evaluate development rates of triatomine eggs under cold or heat shock or variable (controlled or uncontrolled) temperature regimes: for T. infestans (Campos et al , 2002), T. picturata (Barbosa & Garcia da Silva, 2001), T. pseudomaculata (Gonçalves et al , 1997; Pinto Soares et al , 2000), T. rubrofasciata (Braga et al (1998), T. sordida (Mello, 1976) and Rhodnius prolixus (Luz et al , 1999).…”
