Abstract: In Minas Gerais State, Brazil, after the elimination of Triatoma infestans by the Brazilian Chagas Disease Control Program, some triatomine species, such as Panstrongylus megistus, have merited the attention of entomological surveillance authorities. After the decentralization of the Brazilian health system, certain administrative and operational difficulties have been observed in some municipalities (counties). This study aims to evaluate entomological surveillance for Chagas disease in the 54 municipalities … Show more

“…In the present study, P. megistus specimens from MG showed more TK on flagellum 1, a result consistent with the historical data on Chagas disease for this state, which has one of the highest indices of household capture of this species in Brazil (Villela et al 2005). According to Forattini (1980) P. megistus specimens captured in MG present distinct behaviour to those of RS.…”

“…Análises recentes da região centro-oeste de Minas Gerais têm demonstrado quatro espécies de triatomíneos invadindo domicílios (P. megistus, Panstrongylus diasi, Rhodnius neglectus, Triatoma sordida), com um índice de infecção de 1,3%, e foram registradas capturas em 46 dos 54 municípios avaliados 37 . Embora exames sorológicos de rotina, realizados nesta região, demonstrem a ausência de transmissão vetorial da doença de Chagas atualmente, algumas providências devem ser tomadas em relação ao controle vetorial da endemia na região para que novos casos não tornem a ocorrer.…”

“…Satisfactory results were obtained with the consolidation of control programs in relation to the domestic environment. The Triatoma infestans infestation was controlled and entomological surveillance of the secondary triatomine species was established [5][6][7][8] . In spite of the magnitude of the problems represented by CD and the proven efficacy of insecticides with residual action in the combat of the vector, control was only systematized and structured in a nationwide program in the 1970's 9 .…”
