: Studying the feeding preferences of triatomines is an important entomological surveillance tool, since continuous surveillance of the disease is necessary.
: The precipitin reaction was used to describe the feeding preferences of triatomines along with their natural infection by flagellates similar to Tyrpanosoma cruzi. Six hundred eighty-seven insects were examined, including Triatoma brasiliensis, Triatoma pseudomaculata, and Panstrongylus lutzi.
: Sixty-nine (10%) of 687 triatomines examined tested positive for flagellates similar to T. cruzi, and 8 (1.2%) of these fed on human blood.
: This study found potential transmitters of Chagas disease both inside and outside the domiciliar environment.
研究锥蝽的摄食偏好是一项重要的昆虫学监测工具，因为对该疾病进行持续监测很有必要。
采用沉淀素反应来描述锥蝽的摄食偏好以及它们被类似于克氏锥虫的鞭毛虫自然感染的情况。共检查了687只昆虫，包括巴西锥蝽、伪黄斑锥蝽和卢氏潘氏锥蝽。
在检查的687只锥蝽中，69只（10%）检测出对类似于克氏锥虫的鞭毛虫呈阳性反应，其中8只（1.2%）吸食人血。
本研究在居家环境内外均发现了恰加斯病的潜在传播者。
