“…The proximity to Mexico City makes Morelos state an ideal region for studying Chagas disease. It is also important to note that the northern states now appear to have more human cases, as well as new records of vectors and wild reservoirs (Tay et al 1992, AlejandreAguilar et al 1993, Rangel-Flores et al 2001.…”

“…[31][32][33] A few entomological studies of the triatomine vectors have been carried out and have reported that 39 species of triatomine bugs were present in Mexico, of which 20 have been found naturally infected by T. cruzi, 34,35 3 Prevalence of infection ranging from 16-18% for domiciliary T. dimidiata in Yucatán, 36 to 33% for T. barberi, 50% for T. p. mazzotti and 18% for T. p. longipennis in Jalisco, 37 and up to 70-92% for T. barberi and 90% for T. p. pallidipennis in Morelos 35,38 have been reported. Feeding habits of some species such as T. dimidiata and T. barberi have been determined and include humans as a relatively frequent feeding source, 36,39,40 clearly demonstrating the vectorial capacity of these species.…”

“…There are 32 species of arthropod vectors for T. cruzi in Mexico, distributed throughout the country, and the endemic area for these vectors covers two-thirds of the Mexican territory; among them, the main intradomiciliary species are Triatoma barberi in 12 States, and Triatoma dimidiata in 16 (Tay et al 1981;Salazar-Schettino et al 2010).…”
