Mean number of parasitic forms on fresh examination of excreta and intestinal contents of fifth-instar Rhodnius robustus and R. pictipes nymphs infected with blood-fed Trypanosoma cruzi trypomastigotes in pure [G1 (TcIAM), G2 (TcIMG), G3 (TcIIPR) and G4 (TcIVAM)] and mixed infections [G5 (TcIAM+TcIVAM), G6 (TcIAM+TcIIPR), G7 (TcIMG+TcIVAM), G8 (TcIMG+TcIIPR) and G9 (TcIIPR + TcIVAM)]. Bars with the same symbols (* or &) are statistically different from each other at P < 0.05. Abbreviations: IC, Intestinal contents
