| Abstract | The bedbugs Cimex lectularius and Cimex hemipterus are obligate hematophages in all their nymphal
instars as well as in the adult stage. The efficiency with which the insects obtain blood from their hosts is
directly related to their population dynamics. In the present study we compared the feeding process and
salivary content in individuals of these two species when fed on different blood sources or host sites,
using a cibarial pump electromyogram. Females ingested more blood than males but needed longer
contact time with the host to complete the meal. The bedbug C. lectularius was more efficient than C.
hemipterus in obtaining blood from mice and pigeons. With regard to the feeding site on mice, it was
easier for the insects to obtain blood from the skin of the belly than that of the back. Individuals of C.
hemipterus were able to maintain the cibarial pump functioning at higher frequencies for longer periods
when fed on pigeons treated with anticoagulant. Although saliva from C. lectularius contained more
hemeproteins and showed more anti-clotting activity its total protein content was similar to that of C.
hemipterus. Overall, C. lectularius obtains a bloodmeal more efficiently from its hosts, which may have
enabled this species to reach higher levels of infestation than C. hemipterus. | pt_BR |
