Fig. 8.From: Quantitative imagery analysis of spot patterns for the three-haplogroup classification of Triatoma dimidiata (Latreille, 1811) (Hemiptera: Reduviidae), an important vector of Chagas diseaseComparison of the shape (aspect ratio) of the central and lateral spots of the abdomen in the three haplogroups of T. dimidiata (Hemiptera: Reduviidae). The aspect ratio differed among haplogroups, both for the central (KW-H(2; 96) ā=ā15.45; pā<ā0.001) and lateral spots (KW-H(2; 97) ā=ā46.25; pā=ā0.001).Back to article page
