Abstract excerpt
Rhodnius prolixus interpopulation variability was studied based on a new approach using salivary heme proteins (nitrophorins) electrophoresis in starch gel. We compared salivary proteins profiles of R. prolixus from three different laboratory colonies from Honduras, Venezuela, Brazil and Rhodnius...
