%X the aim of this work was the study of biological cycle of r. robustus feeding with human blood. triatomines were collected in ca£¿o tigre, state of m¨¦rida, venezuela.triatomines were fed through latex membrane with human blood at 37oc and sodium citrate as anticoagulant. the results showed 13,9 eggs/female/week, a 78,32 % fertility and a biological cycle from egg to adult lasting 70 days. breeding of r. robustus when fed with human blood shows its potential human dwelling domiciliation and chagas disease transmission.
