Role of salivary antihemostatic components in blood feeding by triatomine bugs (Heteroptera).

Abstract

Salivary gland homogenates from 4 genera of triatomine bugs were assayed for anticlotting, apyrase, and vasodilatory activities, and these activities were correlated with the efficiency of each bug species to initiate a blood meal. Antihemostatic activities spanned a large range of values. Apyrase activity in members of the genus Rhodnius was markedly different from that in other genera with respect to their sensitivity to divalent cation activators. Apyrase and vasodilatory activities, but not anticlotting activity, correlated with feeding efficiency of bugs taking a blood meal on a rat. Results are discussed within the context of the evolution of blood-feeding by insects.
