“…Factors such as species diversity, environmental changes, and residence invasion allow vector-mediated transmission of Chagas disease (14) . For example, in their study in Columbia, Cordovez et al (15) showed that climatic changes can interfere with the route of vector-mediated transmission of the disease.…”

“…O cenário eco-epidemiológico da doença de Chagas vem sofrendo alterações relevantes: Triatoma infestans foi eliminado em praticamente todo o Brasil (veja capí-tulo 2) e muitas espécies foram descritas e algumas foram sinonimizadas (veja capí-tulo 3; Galvão et al 2003, Costa & Lorenzo 2009). Assim, reapresenta-se brevemente os quatro principais ecossistemas brasileiros (Figura 11.1) nos quais os triatomíneos são epidemiologicamente importantes.…”

“…Forty-three species are exclusively distributed within Brazil. [5][6][7][8][9][10][11] The state of Bahia in northeastern Brazil has the largest number of species (25 spp.). 8 In Brazil, the National Chagas Disease Control Program (PCDCh) was implemented from 1975 to 1983, when Triatoma infestans infested households in 700 cities across 12 Brazilian states.…”

Abstract. Triatomine surveillance in rural areas, artificial ecotypes, and natural ecotopes of the cities of Caturama, Ibipitanga, Macaú bas, and Seabra in the south-central region of the Brazilian state of Bahia was carried out between 2008 and 2013. Natural infection by Trypanosoma cruzi was evaluated in the specimens collected to monitor vectors of Chagas disease. A total of 1,357 specimens were collected, and four species were identified: Triatoma sordida (83%), Triatoma lenti (16.4%), Triatoma pseudomaculata (0.5%), and Panstrongylus geniculatus (0.1%). Triatoma sordida was found in four cities, only 0.7% in intradomiciliary environments. Triatoma lenti was found only in Macaú bas; 8.5% were found in intradomiciliary environments, 88.3% in peridomiciliary environments, and 3.1% in sylvatic environments. Natural infection by T. cruzi was 0.5% for T. sordida and 3.1% T. lenti. All of these cases were found in peridomiciliary environments of Macaú bas. As the results show, triatomines were found in intradomiciliary environments in three cities that were surveyed in the south-central region of the state of Bahia. Thus, an epidemiologic survey should be performed to avoid the risk of transmission to the population.Chagas disease, also known as American trypanosomiasis, is caused by the protozoan parasite Trypanosoma cruzi (Kinetoplastida: Trypanosomatidae). It is most frequently transmitted by the infected feces of blood-sucking triatomine bugs (Hemiptera: Reduviidae: Triatominae).
