Rhodnius prolixus not only has served as a model organism for the study of insect physiology, but also is a major vector of Chagas disease, an illness that affects approximately seven million people worldwide. We sequenced the genome of R. prolixus,

Rhodnius prolixus oocyte extracts were chromatographed on an ion exchange column in order to purify vitellin (VT). Three VT heterogeneous populations were identified and named VT(1), VT(2), and VT(3) according to their order of elution from the colum
