“…Although it has not undergone formal synonymization [3], some authors have proposed such synonymy [2,14,15]. Nevertheless, the validation of this subspecies continues to be a subject of debate [16].…”

The study focuses on identifying and understanding the ecological dynamics ofTriatoma breyeriin Bolivia. Morphological identification and molecular analysis using gene fragments (COI, CytB and 16S) confirmsT. breyeri's presence and its relation to other species. The species has been consistently found in the Estancia-Mataral – La Palma region since 2010 but has not spread to other regions in Bolivia. The region of occurrence is a small characteristic dry inter-Andean valley. A MaxEnt model suggests part of the Bolivian Montane Dry Forest ecoregion serves as a unique habitat within its range. The infrequent presence in Bolivia and the distance from its main range in Argentina suggest recent accidental introduction, possibly through human transport. Further research is needed to comprehend its persistence in this small area of Bolivia.

“…Eight species of the Triatoma genus, especially Triatoma rubrofasciata , have been found in Africa, the Middle East, Southeast Asia, and the Western Pacific 5 , 9 . In Latin America, triatomines represent a substantial public health problem, as these insects transmit Trypanosoma cruzi (Chagas, 1909) in Bolivia, Argentina, Mexico, Brazil, Chile, Ecuador, Peru, Paraguay, Uruguay, Venezuela, Colombia, the Guianas, and throughout Central America 1 , 10 - 12 .…”

Two triatomine genera ( Panstrongylus and Triatoma ) have essentially been recorded in Rio Grande do Sul State, Brazil. Panstrongylus megistus should be highlighted since this species is one of the main vectors of Trypanosoma cruzi in Brazil, due to its wide geographical distribution and the high susceptibility to this protozoan. This study aimed to present not only the occurrence and distribution of P. megistus in the Porto Alegre city’s metropolitan area (PAMA), Rio Grande do Sul State, Brazil, but also the rates of T. cruzi infection, from 2009 to 2020. The PAMA, which comprises 34 cities and 4.4 million habitants, extends across the transition area in two biomes – Pampa and Mata Atlantica – found in the state. Results showed that P. megistus was recorded in 76.5% of cities (i.e., 26 out of 34), mainly in Porto Alegre city, where the vector was found in 11 out of the 12 years that were monitored. Three hundred and nineteen specimens were captured. Two hundred and sixty-seven specimens (83.7%) were located intradomicile (p < 0.0001), while 52.3% positivity for T. cruzi was found. Thus, P. megistus is important in the PAMA, because it invades and colonizes the households. Moreover, the high rates of T. cruzi infection have drawn attention.
