Trypanosoma rangeli: Effect on excretion in Rhodnius prolixus

Journal of Invertebrate Pathology, 1971
Abstract Excretion is severely reduced in Rhodnius prolixus infected with Trypanosoma rangeli , particularly in those bugs with hemocoelic infections. Several factors probably contribute to this reduction: tissue damage, lack of diuretic hormone or the presence of a chemical inhibitor in the hemolymph, and changes in its osmotic pressure.

Salivary thiol oxidase activity of Rhodnius prolixus

Insect Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 1996
Cysteine and other thiol compounds can accelerate the unloading of nitric oxide (NO) from salivary nitrosyl-nitrophorins of the blood sucking bug Rhodnius prolixus. The dependence of NO unloading on cysteine concentration is biphasic, showing a maximum between 0.5 and 1 mM cysteine.

Metabolism and gas exchange patterns in Rhodnius prolixus

Journal of Insect Physiology, 2017
Insect's metabolic rate and patterns of gas-exchange varies according to different factors such as: species, activity, mass, and temperature among others. One particular striking pattern of gas-exchange in insects is discontinuous gas-exchange cycles, for which many different hypotheses regarding their evolution have been stated.

The Regeneration of Legs in Rhodnius Prolixus (Hemiptera)

Journal of Experimental Biology, 1948
ABSTRACT It is well known that many insects, and especially many Orthoptera, are capable of regenerating autotomized and amputated legs (Godelmann, 1901 ; Bordage, 1905 ; Megusar, 1910; Friedrich, 1930). Very little is known, however, about those factors governing regeneration, those initiating the excessive growth in regeneration, and ...

Factors affecting locomotor plasticity in Rhodnius prolixus

Journal of Insect Physiology
Triatomines are vectors of Trypanosoma cruzi, the causative agent of Chagas disease. Their locomotor activity is influenced by endogenous and exogenous factors, but whether individual behavioral profiles persist across developmental stages remains unclear.

Ultrastructure of Trypanosoma cruzi in the rectum of Rhodnius prolixus

Experimental Parasitology, 1966
The rectal ampulla of Rhodnius prolixus was dissected 1, 3, 5, 10, 13, 20 and 25 days after the last feeding from white mice infected with Trypanosoma cruzi. The fine structure of the parasite from the invertebrate host was studied with the electronmicroscope. Two parasitic forms were described: the crithidia and the trypanosome. The crithidial form is

Histology of Rhodnius prolixus infected with Trypanosoma rangeli

Journal of Invertebrate Pathology, 1971
Abstract Intracellular stages of Trypanosoma rangeli develop in most tissues of infected Rhodnius prolixus , but they show a predilection for gut musculature, fat body, epidermis, and salivary glands. Heavy hemocoelic infections often result in severe nerve damage and hypertrophy of tracheal cells, which finally rupture and release flagellates. T.
