Flight and nutritional status of sylvatic Triatoma sordida and Triatoma guasayana [PDF]
Memórias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2001 Nutritional status relating to flight activity was investigated in natural populations of Triatoma sordida and T. guasayana during the dry season in the Bolivian Chaco. The peak flight activity of both species was unimodal and covered the period 61-180 min after sunset. The weight of insects was used as the indicator of nutritional status. Interspecies
