Triatomines are hematophagous insects that are important to public health since they are the vectors of American Trypanosomiasis. The objective of this study was to describe the occurrence of triatomines in homes in Cruzeiro do Sul, Acre, Brazil.
The specimens were collected by an active search inside homes and also by a passive search by the residents.
A total of 55 triatomines were captured comprising of 5 species each of the genera Rhodnius, Eratyrus, and Panstrongylus. No colonies were detected, ruling out the possibility of domiciliation.
Information on regional epidemiological dynamics contributes to the prevention and control of disease.
锥猎蝽是一种吸血昆虫,由于它们是美洲锥虫病的传播媒介,因此对公共卫生很重要。本研究的目的是描述巴西阿克里州克鲁塞罗杜苏尔市家庭中锥猎蝽的发生情况。
通过主动搜索和居民的被动搜索在家庭内部采集标本。
共捕获了 55 只锥猎蝽,分别属于 5 个属,即 Rhodnius、Eratyrus 和 Panstrongylus。未发现群体,排除了定居的可能性。
区域流行病学动态信息有助于疾病的预防和控制。
