Midgut glycosidases of Rhodnius prolixus

Insect Biochemistry, 1984
Abstract 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, 1970
Abstract 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, 1965
Rhodnius 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, 2017
In 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.

Bioassay of Diuretic Hormone in Rhodnius

1980
The diuretic hormone of Rhodnius is a potent hormone released into the hemolymph of the insect within 1 min of the insect starting to feed (Maddrell and Gardiner 1976). Rhodnius is a bloodsucking insect, which at infrequent intervals takes very large meals of blood, each of which in the preadult stages can be up to 12 times as large as the insect ...
