Repeated plasticization and recovery of cuticular stiffness in the blood-sucking bug Triatoma infestans in the feeding context
Triatominae bugs experience changes in the mechanical properties of their cuticle prior to feeding. This process - plasticization - allows a rapid stretching of the unsclerotized abdominal cuticle of triatominae larvae and it is evoked by sensory inputs related to feeding. We tested: (a) whether the...
