Organism Comment Expression
Rhodnius prolixus in larval hemolymph, phenol oxidase diminishes until day 7, and then recovers by day 14 after a blood meal down
Rhodnius prolixus in larval fat body, phenol oxidase peaks occur at 7, 12 and 16 days after a blood meal, in the anterior midgut tissue phenol oxidase peaks on day 9 and just before ecdysis up
