RESUMO
No presente estudo avaliaram-se diferentes parâmetros biológicos de T. sherlocki para inferir sua capacidade vetorial. Para isso, foram efetuadas coletas no ambiente silvestre e domiciliar em 2009, quando foi feita a pesquisa para presença de T. cruzi-like, e em 2010, para o estabelecimento de colônias mantidas em condições controladas de temperatura (24,6 ± 1,3 ºC) e umidade relativa (71,6 porcento ± 6,3) (não controlada). Tais colônias deram suporte aos estudos do ciclo biológico, do comportamento alimentar e de defecação e da resistência ao jejum. A taxa de infecção natural foi obtida pelo exame microscópico de fezes dos triatomíneos. Para o estudo do ciclo biológico e do comportamento alimentar e de defecação, foram selecionados aleatoriamente 123 ovos a partir de trinta casais mantidos juntos. Assim, acompanhou-se o desenvolvimento de ovo-adulto e o seu comportamento de alimentação e de defecação após a alimentação até 10 min. Os insetos foram alimentados semanalmente em camundongos Mus musculus. A resistência ao jejum foi estudada através da seleção aleatória de um grupo de 50 ovos e 50 ninfas de 2º a 5º estádio, perfazendo um total de 350 espécimes, os quais foram alimentados semanalmente em camundongos e observados diariamente para registrar a eclosão ou ecdise...
ABSTRACT
The insects were fed weekly on mice Mus musculus. The resistance to starvation was studied by randomlyselecting a group of 50 eggs and 50 nymphs of 2nd to 5th instar, which were fed weekly on mice and observed daily to record hatching or moulting. Thereafter, each triatomine wasobserved individually for the record of the period of resistance to starvation unto death. During field sampling, 471 specimens were collected, 170 in 2009 and 301 in 2010. Of the 170 specimens collected in 2009, 145 were examined for the presence of T. cruzi-like, ofwhich 20 percent were positive. Regarding the biological cycle, T. sherlocki showed averagedevelopment time from egg to adult of 325.0 ± 40.0 days, indicating that this species has one generation per year. The number of blood meal ranged from 1 to 11 depending on the instar ofdevelopment. This feature increases the vector-host contact, increasing the likelihood of acquisition or transmission of T. cruzi. The overall mortality rate was low (6.5 percent) compared toother species of triatomines, showing that T. sherlocki has well adapted to laboratory conditions. Among the main results obtained in the study of feeding behavior and defecation highlights the short time interval between feeding and defecation of the early nymphal instarof T. sherlocki, average time of 1.38 minutes for the 1st instar and 2.15 minutes for the 2nd instar, and the 63.2 percent (n = 114) of the 1st nymphal instar and 56.7 percent (n = 60) of the 2nd nymphal instar defecated until 1 minute after the 1st and 2nd feeds, respectively. The nymphs of remaining instars took longer to defecate, but had an average time of defecation afterfeeding up to 10 min lower to 4.00 min...
