Although there is much work on sugar transporters (Bifano et al., 2010; Price and Gatehouse, 2014), amino acids (Evans et al., 2009; Boudko, 2012), peptides (Roman et al., 1998), lipids (Dourlen et al., 2015), as well as ions (Chintapalli et al., 2015; Xiang et al., 2012) in insects, a comprehensive molecular analysis of intestinal physiology using transporters is at an early stage. A wor…
Rhodnius prolixus blood meal ingestion activates a cascade of hormonally coordinated events involving different tissues to eliminate excess water and sodium chloride from the blood. This postprandial diuresis stimulates defecation/urination, thus reducing its body weight, preventing them from predation, and allowing blood digestion. When R. prolixus is infected, the parasite Trypanosoma c…
