Triatomines are hematophagous insects of epidemiological importance because they are vectors of Chagas disease. We present here the first report of Rhodnius montenegrensis in Amazonas, Brazil.
Triatomines were collected from Attalea butyracea palm trees in the municipality of Guajará.
Two adult female R. montenegrensis specimens were identified.
The present study confirms that the number of triatomine species within the Amazon has increased from 10 to 11, and the number of Brazilian states with R. montenegrensis has increased from two to three.
锥蝽是一种吸血昆虫,具有重要的流行病学意义,因为它们是恰加斯病的传播媒介。我们在此报告巴西亚马逊州首例黑缘红锥蝽的报告。
在瓜亚拉市的 Attalea butyracea 棕榈树上收集锥蝽。
鉴定出两只成年雌性黑缘红锥蝽标本。
本研究证实,亚马逊地区的锥蝽物种数量已从 10 种增加到 11 种,而有黑缘红锥蝽分布的巴西州也从两个增加到三个。
