“…It is believed that the insects may have been attracted by the light from the residence. The species R. montenegrensis has been described as occurring in palms of genus Attalea (10) and Orbignya (11) , similar to other species of the genus Rhodnius (2) (12) , demonstrating the ecological importance of palm trees for these triatomines.…”

Introduction: This paper reports, for the fi rst time, the presence of Rhodnius montenegrensis in the State of Acre, Brazil. Methods: Two female R. montenegrensis were collected in a dwelling in the rural area of Rio Branco, Acre, Brazil. Results: The occurrence of this species was confi rmed, and the number of Triatominae species in the State of Acre increased from four to fi ve. Conclusions: Further studies should be performed to reach a clearer understanding of the ecology of this arthropod, its possible role in transmitting Chagas' disease and rangeliosis, and its current geographical distribution in the region.

Introduction: This study reports for the fi rst time the infection of Rhodnius montenegrensis by Trypanosoma rangeli. Methods: The triatomines were manually collected in Attalea speciosa in the municipality of Buritis, Rondônia. The identifi cation of the trypanosomatid species was confi rmed by multiplex PCR. Results: All of the collected triatomines were R. montenegrensis. The analysis confi rmed that all of the adults were infected with the epimastigote form of T. rangeli. Conclusions: This report of a new vector of T. rangeli raises a warning for the State of Rondônia because the simultaneous presence of T. rangeli with T. cruzi in the same geographic region enables the occurrence of mixed infections in hosts and vectors, which complicates the differential diagnosis.

Natural infection of triatomines (Hemiptera: Reduviidae) by trypanosomatids in two different environments in the municipality of Ouro Preto do Oeste, State of Rondônia, Brazil

Abstract: The high index of natural infection along with the abundance of triatomines points out to the necessity to create an epidemiological surveillance system to monitor vector-borne transmission and deepen the studies on the ecology of such vectors in the Amazon.
