The flight initiation of T. infestans, the main vector of Chagas disease in the Southern Cone countries of Latin America, and of the closely-related species T. melanosoma was studied in laboratory. The results demonstrated that after the beginning of observations the peak of the flight activity was about 14 days after feeding in both species and it was usually more marked in the females than in the males, but there were no significant differences in the flight behaviour of the two species.
在实验室中研究了拉丁美洲南锥体国家恰加斯病的主要传播媒介——侵扰锥蝽以及与之密切相关的物种黑胸锥蝽的飞行起始情况。结果表明，在观察开始后，两种锥蝽的飞行活动高峰期均在进食后约14天，且通常雌性比雄性更为明显，但两种锥蝽的飞行行为没有显著差异。
