| Abstract: | The presence of an acetylcholinesterase inhibitor in the compound eyes of adult Triatoma infestans was demonstrated. The inhibitory activity was localized in the ocular pigments separated by disc gel electrophoresis. The inhibitor was selective against insect acetylcholinesterase, reversible, noncompetitive and heart stable. |
