Ontogenetic changes in wild chagasic bugs (Dipetalogaster maximus): exploring morphological adaptations in pre-adult and adult stages [PDF]
Revista Mexicana de Biodiversidad, 2019 Triatomine insects are vectors of Trypanosoma cruzi (Chagas, 1909), the causing agent of Chagas disease. We studied the morphological ontogenetic changes of Dipetalogaster maxima (Uhler, 1894), an endemic Chagas vector of Baja California Sur, Mexico. We

Mortality of Dipetalogaster maximus (uhler) in response to temperature and humidity [PDF]
Revista da Sociedade Brasileira de Medicina Tropical, 1984 Observations were made on the mortality of Dipetalogaster maximus in relation to humidity and temperature in controlled conditions. The bugs survived longer at higher relative humidities and at lower temperatures, but when these results were plotted ...

Resistance of unfed first instar Dipetalogaster maximus to different enviromental conditions [PDF]
Revista da Sociedade Brasileira de Medicina Tropical, 1994 We have already determined the favourable temperature and humidity conditions for rearing D ipeta logaster maximus1. In each of the two experiments described here two newly hatched lots of 40 first instar bugs were studied. One group was maintained in our insectary at a mean temperature o f280 C (range 27-30) and a mean humidity of 50 % (range 47-50 %).

Light effect on feeding of first instar Dipetalogaster maximus in xenodiagnosis [PDF]
Revista da Sociedade Brasileira de Medicina Tropical, 1993 over a period of ten years suggest that a smaller quantity of blood is being ingested by hungry first instar bugs1 3. Since in Mexico the majority of bugs are first instar of diumal habit it was suggested that feeding might be related to light intensity2.

Metabolic Post-feeding Changes in Fat Body and Hemolymph of Dipetalogaster maximus (Hemiptera:Reduviidae) [PDF]
Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 1998 Lipids and glycogen in fat body as well as the modifications in the wet weight of this organ were evaluated in an unfed insect, Dipetalogaster maximus, on day 5 after adult ecdysis (time 0) and during a 30-day period after ingestion of blood meal.

Hatching of eggs of Dipetalogaster maximus kept under different climatic conditions [PDF]
Revista da Sociedade Brasileira de Medicina Tropical, 1994 The use of D ipeta logaster maximus in xenodiagnosis has been reviewed2. We continue to investigate relevant biological aspects ofthis species. We report here the results of exposing newly laid eggs to more controlled temperature (mean 28 °C, range 27-30°C) and humidity (50% mean, range 47-50) and to Brasilia enviromental conditions (temperature 22°C ...

No change in one biological parameter for Dipetalogaster maximus after 20 years of laboratory colonisation [PDF]
Revista da Sociedade Brasileira de Medicina Tropical, 1995 The value of Dipetalogaster maximus as a xenodiagnostic agent has been reviewed2. We have always worried that the due to inbreeding in our laboratory colony our off-spring would suck less blood. An opportunity to test this risk arrived with 60 eggs retrieved from a wild caught female of the Baja California Peninsula.
