In this study we were interested in those volatile organic compounds produced in vitro by skin bacterial metabolism that are involved in the Rhodnius prolixus interaction with humans. Rhodnius prolixus is the main vector of Chagas disease in Northern South America. Using behavioral experiments, chemical analysis and microbiological techniques we determined the volatile organic compounds released in vitro by bacteria isolated from human faces and its effects on Rhodnius prolixus. We found that Staphyloccocus species are mediating attraction, while non-Staphyloccocus species are producing repellent volatile organic compounds. Some synthetic volatile organic compounds ","dates":{"release":"2017-12-13T16:05:57Z","modification":"2017-12-13T16:05:57Z","creation":"2017-12-13T15:58:53Z"},"accession":"S-BSST98","cross_references":{}}
