Mechanism of Insecticide-induced Diuresis in Rhodnius
Nature, 1971WATER conservation is critical for insects because of their large surface area relative to volume and the generally arid environment in which they live. Their survival depends on the waterproofing mechanism of the cuticle and the control of excretory and respiratory mechanisms which lead to water loss.

Rhodnius prolixus interpopulation variability was studied based on a new approach using salivary heme proteins (nitrophorins) electrophoresis in starch gel. We compared salivary proteins profiles of R. prolixus from three different laboratory colonies from Honduras, Venezuela, Brazil and Rhodnius robustus from Venezuela, constructing a UPGMA.

Midgut glycosidases of Rhodnius prolixus
Insect Biochemistry, 1984Abstract Through the use of p- nitrophenylglycosides the presence of α- and β-glucosidase, α- and β-galactosidase, α- and β-manosidase, α-fucosidase, β-N- acetylglucosaminidase , α- and β-N- acetylgalactosaminidase activities were detected in the crop and intestine of the blood sucking bug Rhodnius prolixus. All activities have an

Injury metabolism in an insect, Rhodnius prolixus
Journal of Insect Physiology, 1970Abstract Injury of Rhodnius larvae, in which growth and development are arrested by decapitation 1 day after feeding, results in an increase in the rate of oxygen consumption to levels characteristic of fed larvae in which these processes are not interfered with. This increase occurs in the period 2 to 5 days after wounding.

THE GORGING RESPONSE IN RHODNIUS PROLIXUS STĂHL
Canadian Journal of Zoology, 1965Rhodnius prolixus nymphs confined in an artificial feeding apparatus could be induced to gorge on 0.15 M NaCl solutions at pH 7.0 containing 10−3 M concentrations of chemicals having phosphate bonds of high energy release. The di- and tri-phosphates of adenosine, guanine, inosine, cytosine, and uridine all showed high gorging factor activity.

Neuropeptides in the regulation of Rhodnius prolixus physiology
Journal of Insect Physiology, 2017In the kissing bug Rhodnius prolixus, events such as diuresis, antidiuresis, development and reproduction are triggered by blood feeding. Hence, these events can be accurately timed, facilitating physiological experiments. This, combined with its relatively big size, makes R. prolixus an excellent model in insect neuroendocrinological studies.
