“…Specific studies were carried out for Venezuela [19,53], Argentina [53], Colombia [21,23] and Ecuador [54]. For Brazil, in particular, [10] analyzed the distribution of eight species in the center-west region and [55] analyzed the distribution of the species complex T. brasiliensis, which occurs mainly in the Brazilian northeast. Such results are in consonance with the species distributions and the patterns of environmental suitability obtained through SDM clim .…”

“…Due to the lack of vaccine and efficient chemotherapeutic treatments, epidemiological control strategies are focused on the control of vector infestations [8,9]. Despite the relative success of these actions, T. cruzi infection through triatomine vectors continues to represent a critical transmission route for the epidemiology of Chagas disease, with occurrences of home and peridomiciliary infestations, as well as records of new acute cases each year [10]. In this context, research that contributes to increase the consistency of the theoretical background of vector control practices remains needed.…”

“…As bioclimatic variables can be correlated with each other [30], a cluster analysis was performed to avoid collinearity and overestimation in the models. The Pearson value threshold was chosen to be r p < 0.7 (Table 1).…”

“…The model's performance was evaluated with the Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curve and the Area Under the curve (AUC), as an estimate of the model performance across these thresholds [30]. A total of eight maps were obtained for each species; to choose the best β value we plotted the AUC values versus the β value (Table 2) and then the models were run (five replicates) with the regularization value of 0.75, since the models behavior did not change significantly with higher values of β .…”
