Triflumuron Effects on the Physiology and Reproduction of Rhodnius prolixus Adult Females

Table 1

Evaluation of the oral treatment with TFM on Rhodnius prolixus adult female mortality and reproduction. Control insects were fully engorged on defibrinated rabbit blood only, whereas experimental groups were fed with defibrinated rabbit blood added with Starycide at concentrations from 0.1 to 10 µL/mL. Superscript letters show differences between treated and control insects: ; ; (unpaired -test). Values are means ± SD of at least three experiments with 10 insects each.

Groups	Mortality		Oviposition, number of eggs per female	Egg hatching (%)
	1 day after treatment (%)	30 days after treatment (%)
Control	9 ± 3	19 ± 3	56 ± 1	70 ± 20
0.1 µL/mL	23 ± 8	50 ± 10	30 ± 10	66 ± 5
0.5 µL/mL	30 ± 10	63 ± 8	33 ± 9	≤16
1 µL/mL	43 ± 5	70 ± 10	40 ± 30	9 ± 3
10 µL/mL	40 ± 10	76 ± 8	20 ± 10	≤16
