Metabolism and water loss rate of the haematophagous insect Rhodnius prolixus: Effect of starvation and temperature

Haematophagous insects suffer big changes in water needs under different levels of starvation. Rhodnius prolixus is the most important haematophagous vector of Chagas disease in the north of South America and a model organism in insect physiology. Although there have been some studies on patterns of...
