Rhodnius stali infection by Trypanosoma rangeli is reported in this study for the first time.
The triatomines were collected from the campus of the Federal University of Acre in Rio Branco, Acre, Brazil. The identification of T. rangeli was confirmed by multiplex polymerase chain reaction.
The examinations of two specimens revealed R. stali infection by the epimastigote forms of T. rangeli.
The encounter of R. stali infected by T. rangeli generates an alert for the state of Acre, since the simultaneous presence with Trypanosoma cruzi can make the differential diagnosis of Chagas disease difficult.
本研究首次报道了红带锥蝽感染克氏锥虫。
这些锥蝽采自巴西阿克里州里奥布兰科市阿克里联邦大学校园。通过多重聚合酶链反应确认了克氏锥虫的鉴定。
对两个标本的检查发现红带锥蝽被克氏锥虫的上鞭毛体形式感染。
红带锥蝽感染克氏锥虫的情况给阿克里州敲响了警钟,因为它与克氏锥虫同时存在会使恰加斯病的鉴别诊断变得困难。
