Abstract
⺠We examined the effect of impregnated nets on exposure of guinea pigs to triatomine. ⺠We analysed antibody responses of guinea pigs to vector saliva. ⺠Five control animals showed strong immune reactions to T. infestans saliva. ⺠No animals under insecticide-impregnated nets reacted strongly to T. infestans saliva.
