Abstract
The butyl ester of buthionine sulfoximine (BBSO) applied topically to the nymph V stage of Triatoma infestans (Klug) caused glutathione depl etion which was maintained for four days after treatment. Topical pre- treatment of nymph V with BBSO significantly synergised the toxicity o f DDT and fenitrothion to T. infestans.
