Triatoma virus (TrV), a member of the Dicistroviridae family, replicates in intestinal epithelial cells, causing delayed development and death of infected individuals. The aims of this study were to find naturally infected species of Triatominae in the wild in the region endemic for Chagas disease and analyze and compare the sequence diversity of TrV obtained from different Triatominae. A total of 253 Triatominae belonging to 10 species were captured by active or passive collection. Three new sequences were obtained from Triatoma infestans, Triatoma delpontei and Psammolestes coreodes and the analysis revealed that these sequences were very similar. Ps. coreodes is a new host for TrV.
锥蝽病毒（TrV），一种属于双 RNA 病毒科的病毒，在肠上皮细胞中复制，导致感染个体发育迟缓并死亡。本研究旨在寻找恰加斯病流行地区野外自然感染的锥蝽科物种，并分析和比较从不同锥蝽科获得的 TrV 的序列多样性。共采集到 253 只属于 10 种的锥蝽科昆虫，通过主动或被动收集。从 T. infestans、T. delpontei 和 Psammolestes coreodes 中获得了 3 个新序列，分析表明这些序列非常相似。Ps. coreodes 是 TrV 的新宿主。
