Domiciliation by Triatoma sordida is a public health concern in South America. This study aimed to evaluate the morphometric changes in the domestic and peridomestic populations of T. sordida.
Specimen hemelytra were mounted, digitized, and processed for geometric morphometric analyses.
The specimens captured in houses were smaller than those captured in peridomiciles. A large size reduction effect was observed in female peridomicile populations compared with female house populations.
T. sordida house populations were smaller than peridomestic populations. Wing geometric morphometry can be used as a tool to indicate T. sordida domiciliation.
三带喙库蚊在南美的定殖是一个公共卫生关注点。本研究旨在评估三带喙库蚊的家庭和家庭周围环境种群的形态变化。
对标本半翅进行安装、数字化和几何形态测量分析处理。
在房屋中捕获的标本比在家庭周围环境中捕获的标本小。与家庭环境中的雌性种群相比,家庭周围环境中的雌性种群的大小减小幅度较大。
三带喙库蚊家庭种群比家庭周围环境种群小。翅膀几何形态测量可作为指示三带喙库蚊定殖的工具。
