Substrate texture properties induce triatomine probing on bitten warm surfaces

BACKGROUND: In this work we initially evaluated whether the biting process of Rhodnius prolixus relies on the detection of mechanical properties of the substrate. A linear thermal source was used to simulate the presence of a blood vessel under the skin of a host. This apparatus consisted of an alum...
