RESEARCH NOTE - Feeding and Defecation Patterns of Nymphs of Triatoma rubrofasciata (De Geer, 1773) (Hemiptera: Reduviidae), and its Potential Role as Vector for Trypanosoma cruzi

Although Triatoma rubrofasciata is occasionally found naturally infected by Trypanosoma cruzi it is not considered an important vector of Chagas disease. It is normally the vector of Trypanosoma conorhini which infects Rattus rattus since this insect is in close association with the rat. It is found...
