Název v původním jazyce

Erythrocyte size as one of potential causes of host preferences in cimicids (Cimex spp., Heteroptera: Cimicidae)

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Cimicids are haematophagous insects whose life cycle, reproduction and survival rate depends on the blood of its hosts. Blood ingredients play a crucial role there. Two lineages have been identified in Cimex lectularius - bat- and human-associated bed bugs. Also bat bugs C. pipistrelli differ in particular bat hosts. We found some differences between the two lineages of bed bugs in the speed of moulting, length of life and reproduction success in cross-host experiments. It was considered that the bug proboscis could be very narrow and that red blood cells might not be able to pass through it. Therefore the first aim of this study was to find out whether the red blood cell (RBC) size has an impact on the occurrence of cimicids in bat and human host. Except one observation on Plecotus auritus, bat bugs never occurred in certain bat species i.e. Barbastella barbastellus, Rhinolophus hipposideros and Plecotus austriacus.
