Laboratory maintenance and care of Rhodnius prolixus (Hemiptera: Reduviidae) and other Triatominae

Alice C Sutcliffe,
Ellen M Dotson

Abstract: Triatomines (Hemiptera: Reduviidae) are hematophagous insects that transmit Trypanosoma cruzi, the etiological agent for Chagas disease, to humans and other mammals. As medically important vectors, species such as Rhodnius prolixus (Hemiptera: Reduviidae) have long been used as a model organism for physiological studies. Laboratory rearing of triatomines is needed to support vector and parasite research. Many environmental conditions, such as suitable housing containers, light source and duration, temperature,… Show more
