| Abstract | This paper reports a study on the mycobiota in the digestive tract of four important species of triatomines:
Rhodnius prolixus, R. neglectus, Diptelanogaster maximus and Panstrongylus megistus. The digestive
tracts of 90 adults and 425 nymphs of these four triatomine species were studied and 365 fungal strains were
isolated. The genera with the greatest number of species were Aspergillus, Penicillium (14 species in each
genus), Acremonium and Cladosporium (three species in each genus), and the most frequent species, in
decreasing order, were Aspergillus awamori, Penicillium corylophilum, Cladosporium herbarum and
Aspergillus niger. It was concluded that, among the isolated fungi, Aspergillus niger and Penicillium
corylophilum might be part of the natural flora of the digestive tract of triatomines. | pt_BR |
