Encontro de Panstrongylus megistus em ecótopo artificial: domiciliação ou mera visitação? by Carlos Nascimento, Ana M. Marassá, Izilda Curado, Roxane M.F. Piazza

“…No combate à doença de Chagas no Brasil, foi utilizado como primeira medida o controle químico, erradicando o Triatoma infestans, o mais importante vetor, tal combate vem favorecendo o aparecimento de vetores secundários, como Triatoma sordida and Panstrongylus megistus, espécies que podem eventualmente ser encontradas no domicílio, como os triatomíneos provenientes de Bernardino de Campos e Sete Barras por nós examinados que foram encontrados no domicílio e positivos para o T. cruzi, sugerindo que, apesar da doença de Chagas estar controlada no Estado de São Paulo, existe a necessidade de aprimorar os conhecimentos sobre o comportamento destes vetores para que mudanças nas medidas de controle sejam introduzidas.…”

Potencial biológico do Triatoma brasiliensis by Alessandra A. Guarneri, Maria das Graças Carvalho, Marcos Horácio Pereira, Liléia Diotaiuti

“…Foram estudados alguns parâmetros biológicos e fisiológicos do Triatoma brasiliensis em comparação com o Triatoma infestans e com o Triatoma pseudomaculata. O T. brasiliensis, alimentado em camundongos, apresentou um ciclo evolutivo de ninfa de primeiro estádio a adulto mais rápido e uma fecundidade maior quando comparado às demais espécies. …”

Monitoring the domiciliary and peridomiciliary invasion process of Triatoma rubrovaria in the State of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil by Almeida Carlos Eduardo, Vinhaes Marcio Costa, Almeida Josimar Ribeiro de, Silveira Antonio Carlos, Costa Jane

“…Data from the Chagas Disease Control Program obtained by the Fundação Nacional de Saúde, between 1975 and 1997, indicate a growing domiciliary and peridomiciliary invasion of T. rubrovaria in RS, where it has become the most frequently Triatominae species captured in this state since the control of Triatoma infestans. In order to monitor this process, we analyzed collection data derived from 22 years of control campaigns against T. infestans. …”

Spatial re-establishment dynamics of local populations of vectors of Chagas disease. by Heinrich Zu Dohna, María C Cecere, Ricardo E Gürtler, Uriel Kitron, Joel E Cohen

“…Here we show how continuous- and discrete-time models fitted to patch-level infestation states can elucidate different aspects of re-establishment. Triatoma infestans, the main vector of Chagas disease, reinfested sites in three villages in northwest Argentina after community-wide insecticide spraying in October 1992.Different methods of estimating the probabilities of bug establishment on each site were compared. …”

Do the new triatomine species pose new challenges or strategies for monitoring Chagas disease? An overview from 1979-2021 by Jane Costa, Carolina Dale, Cleber Galvão, Carlos Eduardo Almeida, Jean Pierre Dujardin

“…Currently, some of the most relevant changes are related to: (i) the reduction in the incidence of the endemic due to the control of the most important vectors, Triatoma infestans and Rhodnius prolixus, in many countries; (ii) the migration of human populations spreading cases of the disease throughout the world, from endemic to non-endemic areas, transforming Chagas disease into a global threat; and (iii) new acute cases and deaths caused by oral transmission, especially in the north of Brazil. …”

On triatomines, cockroaches and haemolymphagy under laboratory conditions: new discoveries by Pamela Durán, Edda Siñani, Stéphanie Depickère

“…Nevertheless, under laboratory conditions, the use of haemolymphagy as a survival strategy in the first developmental stages of these species was not supported, as their mortality was very high. Finally, when Triatoma infestans, Rhodnius stali and Panstrongylus rufotuberculatus species were reared on a cockroach diet under similar conditions, all died rather than feeding on cockroaches. …”
