Estudos bionômicos de Dipetalogaster maximus (Uhler, 1894) (Hemiptera - Triatominae): II - Influência da dieta sobre o ciclo biológico e resistência ao jejum

摘要: Two kinds of blood-meal were assayed in order to broaden the knowledge biology Dipetalogaster maximus: one group insects was fed on normal mouse blood (C) and another pigeon (P). Both groups kept a B.O.D. - chamber (28oC 65% R.H.). Significant data concerning their development registered: C reached adult stage X = 130,1 days P 145,6 days. Mortality P, (63,71%) doubled that (31,18%). The period survival, as measured by resistance starvation, markedly greater C, particularly third, fourth fifth stages. These observations complete our former records this species, under same conditions female fertility, egg vialbility comparative mortality fertility rates.
