Background. The immune response of insects involves humoral factors and cellular elements known as hemocytes. There are different reports that explore the response of hemocytes to infections, but the effect that molting has on this response has not been explored so far. We hypothesized that there would be a change in the percentage of hemocytes as a response to the molting process.
Objective. The aim of this work was to compare the hemogram (CBC), the formula, and the differential count of hemocytes in IV instar before molting and in V instar nymphs 24 hours after molting in two species: Rhodnius prolixus and Rhodnius robustus.
Materials and methods. We assayed different staining methodologies including Giemsa, Alcian Blue pH 2.0, Alcian Blue pH 2.6, Gomori substrate, PAS (Schiff), Sudan Black and Papanicolau with positive controls for each one. In the Gomori staining, we observed lysosomes in the granulocytes and plasmatocytes, but the differentiation was better detected using Giemsa staining.
Results. There were no statistically significant differences between the two species studied in plasmatocytes (p=0,053) or even in granulocytes (p=0,5). However, differences were significant in the prohemocytes (p=0,001) during the molting process in both Rhodnius prolixus and Rhodnius robustus.
Conclusions. Significant differences in prohemocytes between nymphs of IV and V instar were detected. No significant differences in the amount of cells were observed between the two species and the two stages. These findings may be explained due to their role as precursor cell of prohemocytes.
Antecedentes. La respuesta inmune de los insectos involucra factores humorales y elementos celulares llamados hemocitos. Existen varios trabajos explorando la respuesta de los hemocitos frente a infecciones, pero no como respuesta al proceso de muda.
Objetivo. Comparar el hemograma: la fórmula y el recuento diferencial de hemocitos de Rhodnius prolixus y Rhodnius robustus en ninfas de IV estadio antes de la muda y ninfas de V estadio 24 horas después de la muda.
Materiales y métodos. Se ensayaron las coloraciones Giemsa, Alcian Blue pH 2.0, Alcian Blue pH 2.6, sustrato Gomori, PAS (Schiff), Sudán Negro, Papanicolau, con controles positivos para cada una. Con la coloración de Gomori se observaron lisosomas en los granulocitos y en plasmatocitos, pero la diferenciación se logró mejor con la coloración de Giemsa.
Resultados. Los plasmatocitos fueron más abundantes en las ninfas de IV estadio de Rhodnius robustus y en las de V estadio de las dos especies, pero en las ninfas de V estadio de R. prolixus, el recuento de prohemocitos fue mayor; para los oenocitoides, esferulocitos y adipohemocitos el recuento no alcanzó al 1 %. En las dos especies no se encontraron diferencias estadísticamente significativas en plasmatocitos (p=0,05319), ni en granulocitos (p=0,5), entre las ninfas de IV y V estadio, pero fue significativa en prohemocitos (p=0,001).
Conclusiones. Se detectaron diferencias significativas en prohemocitos entre las ninfas de IV y V estadio. No hubo un aumento significativo en el conteo de células en los diferentes estadios.
