“…14), simply labelled "Guyane française". Considering that the geographical distribution of T. brasiliensis is restricted to the semiarid areas of North-eastern Brazil (Lent & Wygodzinsky 1979, Costa et al 2003 we consider the species as not present in French Guiana until further information is available.…”

“…According to these authors, in the last decade (1990), the chemical control was shown to be effective in the decrease of the synanthropic species, in special regarding to T. infestans, which is almost eliminated from the state of Bahia, besides P. megistus. T. brasiliensis and T. pseudomaculata, species that are autochthonous (Costa et al 2003) and present in high density in the wild habitats, with concentration in the peridomicile, are considered species difficult to be eradicated, specially T. brasiliensis, actually considered the most difficult triatomine to be controlled. The Northeast of Brazil, still according Dias et al (2000), is the endemic region with more problems, because it is the center of dispersion and holds great concentration of T. brasiliensis.…”

“…This is due to the continental dimension of Brazil, comprising distinct biomes that include some of the richest biodiversity on our planet: the Amazon, the Atlantic Forest, the Pantanal and the Cerrado (IBAMA 2009). To better illustrate triatomine diversity, it is important to mention that in the North-Eastern Region of Brazil, 21 species have been collected that are either infesting or invading domiciles, even though most of those species were considered strictly sylvatic (Costa et al 2003). A specific example can be found in the state of Pernambuco, which is relatively small, encompassing only 98,938 Km 2 (IBGE 2008), but comprises five differentiated mesoregions: Sao Francisco, Araripe, Agreste, Zona da Mata and the Metropolitan Region.…”

“…For both the states of Minas Gerais and Bahia (BA), 14 triatomine species have been captured in domiciliary units, representing a significant diversity in terms of triatomine fauna (Costa et al 2003). In the almost unexplored Amazon Region, 18 triatomine species have been recorded (Coura et al 2002).…”
