Abstract: An entomological study of triatomine species was carried out to assess their prevalence in 10 localities of the state of Michoacán, Mexico. Entomological indices were calculated to estimate the risk for vector-borne transmission of Trypanosoma cruzi to the human population in this area. Four triatomine species (Triatoma barberi, Triatoma dimidiata, Meccus pallidipennis and Meccus longipennis) were collected from the study area. This is the first report of M. longipennis and T. dimidiata in Michoacán. M. pallid… Show more

“…Some of the study parameters led us to conclude that the three populations were different and they may have been affected by local environmental conditions. The correlation of our results with epidemiological and behavioral studies (Ramsey et al 2003, Martínez‐Ibarra et al 2011) supports a hypothesis that biological traits are important criteria for determining the relationships among populations (Grech et al 2010, Martínez‐Ibarra et al 2012a). Morphological and genetic studies of M. pallidipennis are necessary to understand more about the relationships among different populations of this species.…”

“…The mean number of eggs laid per female per day was approximately three in the triatomines from Taretan, which might partially explain the abundance of M. pallidipennis in the state of Michoacán (Martínez‐Ibarra et al 2011) and their low abundance in Oaxaca (Benítez‐Alva et al 2012). Mexican triatomine species related to M. pallidipennis (i.e., M. mazzottii (Usinger, 1941) and M. phyllosomus (Burmeister, 1835) were investigated in a previous study (Martínez‐Ibarra et al 2006), as well as was T. infestans (Klug, 1834) (Rabinovich 1972), and like the current study, the egg eclosion rate was over 80% in the populations analyzed with average incubation periods of around 19 days, which demonstrated that the maintenance conditions were favorable to the proper development of these species of triatomines.…”

“…Meccus pallidipennis is also considered to be an important vector of Chagas disease, since it is responsible for 74% of the vectorial transmission to humans in Mexico (Ibarra-Cerdeña et al, 2009). Its distribution has been associated with different degrees of invasion in human dwellings (Ramsey et al, 2003;Martínez-Ibarra et al, 2011).…”

“…Chagas disease is given little public health priority in Mexico, despite ample clinical evidence of its importance (Guzmán-Bracho, 2001). In México, at least 33 species of triatomines are known, of which 23 are unrecorded from other countries (Salazar-Schettino et al ., 2010; Martinez-Ibarra et al ., 2011). Among them, Meccus (former Triatoma) pallidipennis (Stal, 1872), a peridomestic vector, is considered one of the most important vectors of Chagas disease in Mexico (Martinez-Ibarra et al ., 2009) because it usually has high entomological indexes and it occurs in houses and chicken roosts in villages of 11 states (33%) of central, southern, eastern and western Mexico (Martinez-Ibarra et al ., 2009; Martinez-Ibarra et al ., 2011).…”

“…M. pallidipennis is considered one of the most important vectors of Chagas in the southern of Mexico (Martinez-Ibarra et al ., 2010; Martinez-Ibarra et al ., 2011), and is found in domestic and peridomestic habitats in the south of State of Puebla where there have been high rates of human infection with Trypanosoma cruzi ( Zumaquero-Rios et al ., 2001; Sandoval-Ruiz et al ., 2008). …”
