Substrate texture properties induce triatomine probing on bitten warm surfaces
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>In this work we initially evaluated whether the biting process of <it>Rhodnius prolixus </it>relies on the detection of mechanical properties of the substrate. A linear thermal source was used to simulate the presence of...
