“…In the low Jaguaribe Valley, Ceará State, northeastern Brazil, native Chagas disease vectors, mainly Triatoma brasiliensis and Triatoma pseudomaculata, are responsible for maintaining the domestic and peridomestic Trypanosoma cruzi cycles, [1][2][3] being considered difficult to control in the region, because they keep foci in sylvatic ecotopes and frequently display high Trypanosoma cruzi natural infection. 3 Early approaches to explore the triatomine dietary habits have been based on immunological tests such as precipitin 4 and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).…”

“…Triatoma brasiliensis is considered the main vector of Chagas disease in the Northeast Region of Brazil, where it colonises both sylvatic and domestic environments, but is more frequently collected in peridomestic areas (Sarquis et al 2004, Almeida et al 2008, de la Fuente et al 2008, Gonçalves et al 2009. T. brasiliensis is usually widespread throughout sylvatic ecotopes, particularly in rock piles associated with a wide range of small mammals (Alencar 1987).…”

“…A presença de triatomíneos nos ambientes intra e peridomiciliar de residências do município de Potengi (76,62%) é um risco a saúde pública da população, uma vez que são vetores da doença de Chagas, e representa uma situação preocupante e comum em muitos municípios brasileiros, como tem sido demonstrado em diversos estudos 11,19,20,21,22 , em especial na região do Cariri cearense 13,14,19 , onde está inserido a cidade de Potengi. Essa invasão domiciliar pelos triatomíneos se iniciou no período da colonização pelos portugueses e se estende até os dias atuais 1 , os quais têm se tornando cada dia mais adaptados ao ambiente doméstico, especialmente, aos domicílios localizados em áreas densamente desmatadas e em cerrados 5 .…”
