Triatomine feeding profiles. (A) Feeding profile of the indicated triatomine species. Vertebrate feeding hosts are color coded as indicated. Numbers in parenthesis on the right indicate sample size. Note the different feeding proportion on humans. (B) NMDS analysis of feeding profiles among triatomine species. PERMANOVA, P = 0.027 (R. pallescens, P. geniculatus and E. cuspidatus were excluded from the statistical analysis due to the limited sample size for these species). (C) Number of concomitant feeding hosts species detected in single bugs according to triatomine species (left panel) and according to sex/developmental stage (right panel). T. dim: T. dimidiata; R. pro: R. prolixus; P. gen: P. geniculatus; R. pal: R. pallescens; T. mac: T. maculata.
