The present study reports the presence of triatomines in natural, peridomestic, and intradomicile environments in Itacoatiara municipality, state of Amazonas, a non-endemic region for Chagas disease.
Active search was performed inside tree trunks, and palm trees, residences, and peridomiciles localized near the forest area.
Twenty adults and ten triatomines nymphs were collected, fifteen of which were from natural forests, thirteen from intradomiciles, and two from peridomicile areas.
The new records of adults and nymphs of triatomines in the intra- and peridomiciles suggest the adoption of prophylactic measures for vector surveillance in the study area.
本研究报告了在亚马孙州伊塔科阿蒂亚拉市的自然、居家周边和室内环境中存在锥蝽,该市并非恰加斯病的流行地区。
在树干内、棕榈树、住宅以及林区附近的居家周边区域进行了主动搜索。
共采集到20只成年锥蝽和10只若虫,其中15只来自天然森林,13只来自室内,2只来自居家周边区域。
在室内和居家周边区域发现成年和若虫锥蝽的新记录,表明该研究区域应采取预防措施进行病媒监测。
