Triatomines, also known as kissing bugs, are widespread vectors for Chagas disease which affects 6-8 million people worldwide. Two species of triatomines have been previously reported in China. This study showed data from the first investigation of triatomine distribution in China. and a novel species of triatomine in 170 habitats in 30 cities in southern China were recorded in this investigation. Considering the worldwide spread of Chagas disease and new species of trypanosomiasis, strengthening the monitoring of triatomines and their associated diseases in southern China is vital to prevent and control these diseases.
锥蝽,也被称为接吻虫,是恰加斯病的广泛传播媒介,该病影响着全球600万至800万人。此前中国已报告过两种锥蝽。本研究展示了中国首次锥蝽分布调查的数据。此次调查记录了中国南方30个城市170个栖息地中的一种新锥蝽物种。鉴于恰加斯病和锥虫病新物种在全球的传播,加强中国南方锥蝽及其相关疾病的监测对于预防和控制这些疾病至关重要。
