Geographic Distribution of Triatominae Vectors in America

Wild populations of Triatoma infestans : Compilation of positive sites and comparison of their ecological niche with domestic population niche

“…Currently, the reports of wild populations of T. infestans are scattered in several publications, and other numerous searches and collections carried out by our team in Bolivia between 2008 and 2011 have not been published. Moreover, environmental niche modelling based on the characterization of environmental variables of spaces occupied by a species helps establish its geographic distribution, as previously reported (Gorla and Noireau, 2010).…”

Panstrongylus noireaui, a remarkable new species of Triatominae (Hemiptera, Reduviidae) from Bolivia

“… Panstrongylus rufotuberculatus has been considered as a sylvatic species, which frequently invades human dwellings as it is attracted by electric light ( Lent and Wygodzinsky 1979 ; Salomón et al 1999 ; Patterson et al 2009 ; Gorla and Noireau 2010 ). However, truly domestic populations were reported only in some areas of southern Ecuador ( Abad-Franch et al 2001 ), while breeding colonies have been found inside dwellings in Bolivia and Peru too ( Marín et al 2007 ; Gorla and Noireau 2010 ).…”

This species has been incriminated as a vector of Chagas disease in Andean and coastal foci of Ecuador, whereas its presence in the municipality of Amalfi (Antioquia, Colombia) is considered as a major epidemiological risk factor (by being the second most common triatomine caught inside buildings) ( Wolff et al 2001 ; Patterson et al 2009 ; Gorla and Noireau 2010 ).…”
