Comportamento do Triatoma sordida em condições de laboratório

Abstract: Foi observado o comportamento do Triatoma sordida, mantido em condições de laboratório em estufas com umidade relativa do ar de 60-70% e temperatura de 25°C e 30°C. A temperatura mais alta determinou um encurtamento da duração das fases de evolução. Os machos tiveram a duração do 5.° estádio maior do que a das fêmeas. A duração das fêmeas adultas foi maior do que a dos machos. Em relação ao sangue ingerido observaram-se médias maiores à temperatura de 25°C, exceto no 5.° estádio, bem como, nos 4.° e 5.° estádi… Show more

“…The ability to resist fasting increased in T. carcavalloi from the 1 st to the 5 th nymphal stage. During the adult phase, lower resistance was observed in males compared to females, corroborating data obtained at a temperature of 30ºC for T. rubrovaria 17 and T. sordida 41 . These results contradict results reported for T. vitticeps 40 and T. rubrovaria 42 , in which males display a higher resistance to fasting.…”

“…Comparison of these two parameters between T. infestans and T. sordida show that adult females of T. sordida are more efficient when defecating compared to the other instars (Perlowagora 1973, Zeledon et al 1977. The 5 th nymphal instar of T. sordida feeds on more blood than T. infestans, which allows this species to survive longer with just one meal (Perlowagora 1973, Juarez & Castro 1982. Nymphs and adults of T. sordida defecated immediately after feeding or frequently defecated during feeding (Crocco & Catalá 1996); the quantity ingested depended on the nutritional state of insect at the moment of feeding, which is related to dispersal activity.…”

“…This is probably the reason for this species surviving more time under fasting conditions after a single meal (Perlowagora 1973, Juarez & Castro 1982. Moreover, nymphs and adults of T. sordida not only defaecate immediately after feeding, they frequently emit defaecations during feeding.…”
