This article reports, for the first time, the occurrence of Panstrongylus megistus in the Brazilian Western Amazon.
Specimens of P. megistus were collected in the cities of Rio Branco, Acre and Extrema, Rondônia.
The number of triatomine species in the State of Acre increased from eight to nine and in Rondônia from seven to eight. This was also the first report of P. megistus in the Brazilian Western Amazon.
The occurrence of P. megistus in the Western Amazon evidences an epidemiological alert, since it is an important vector of T. cruzi.
本文首次报道了在巴西西部亚马逊地区发现硕大锥猎蝽。
在朗多尼亚州的阿克里州的里奥布兰科市和埃斯特雷马市采集了硕大锥猎蝽标本。
阿克里州的锥猎蝽种类数量从8种增加到9种,朗多尼亚州从7种增加到8种。这也是巴西西部亚马逊地区首次报道发现硕大锥猎蝽。
在西部亚马逊地区发现硕大锥猎蝽表明存在流行病学警报,因为它是克氏锥虫的重要传播媒介。
