Panstrongylus megistus is the main triatomine involved in the human transmission of Trypanosoma cruzi in Minas Gerais, Brazil. We analyzed the occurrence of triatomines in the Itaúna micro-regions for healthcare.
Data were collected as part of routine entomological surveillance activities, including the species identity, capture site, developmental stage, and trypanosome infection.
In total, 503 specimens from five species were captured (495 P. megistus). Adults were mainly captured by residents inside their homes, whereas nymphs were mostly captured by public health professionals outside.
The epidemiologically important triatomine, P. megistus, continues to persist in our study region.
在巴西米纳斯吉拉斯州,潘氏长足虻是与人体传播克氏锥虫关系最为密切的一种传播媒介。我们分析了伊塔乌纳(Itaúna)小区域中与医疗保健相关的三锥虫的发生情况。
数据是作为常规昆虫学监测活动的一部分收集的,包括物种鉴定、捕获地点、发育阶段和锥虫感染情况。
共捕获了 503 个标本(495 个潘氏长足虻),来自五个物种。成虫主要是由居民在家中捕获,而若虫则主要是由公共卫生专业人员在室外捕获。
在我们的研究区域中,潘氏长足虻这种具有重要流行病学意义的三锥虫仍然存在。
