Panstrongylus geniculatus (Latreille, 1811) is the triatomine with the largest geographic distribution in Latin America. It has been reported in 18 countries from southern Mexico to northern Argentina, including the Caribbean islands. Although most reports indicate that P. geniculatus has wild habitats, this species has intrusive habits regarding human dwellings mainly located in intermediate deforested areas. It is attracted by artificial light from urban and rural buildings, raising the risk of transmission of Trypanosoma cruzi. Despite the wide body of published information on P. geniculatus, many knowledge gaps exist about its biology and epidemiological potential. For this reason, we analysed the literature for P. geniculatus in Scopus, PubMed, Scielo, Google Scholar and the BibTriv3.0 databases to update existing knowledge and provide better information on its geographic distribution, life cycle, genetic diversity, evidence of intrusion and domiciliation, vector-related circulating discrete taxonomic units, possible role in oral T. cruzi transmission, and the effect of climate change on its biology and epidemiology.
横纹潜叶蝇（Latreille，1811）是分布在拉丁美洲最广的一种锥蝽。它已在从墨西哥南部到阿根廷北部的 18 个国家/地区被报道，包括加勒比海岛屿。尽管大多数报告表明横纹潜叶蝇有野生栖息地，但该物种对人类居住的地方有侵入性习惯，主要位于中间砍伐的地区。它被城市和农村建筑的人工光吸引，增加了传播克氏锥虫的风险。尽管有关横纹潜叶蝇的已发表信息很多，但关于其生物学和流行病学潜力仍存在许多知识空白。出于这个原因，我们在 Scopus、PubMed、Scielo、Google Scholar 和 BibTriv3.0 数据库中分析了横纹潜叶蝇的文献，以更新现有知识，并提供有关其地理分布、生命周期、遗传多样性、入侵和定居证据、与载体相关的循环分类单元、在口腔克氏锥虫传播中的可能作用以及气候变化对其生物学和流行病学的影响的更好信息。
