摘要
Different blood consumption speed was observed in Triatoma infestans - nymphs and adults - exposed to 12-degrees-C and 28-degrees-C Exposure to optimal temperature (28-degrees-C) allows the insects to consume blood at a rate of 9% per day. Significative relationship between blood amount present in the promesenteron and consumed blood was found at 28-degrees-C Comsumption of blood was drastically reduced at the lowest temperature. Accordingly, lack of ovaric development, oviposition and mating behaviour was observed in insects kept at 12-degrees-C Relationship between laboratory and field observations are discussed.
