Distribuição dos vetores da tripanosomiase americana capturados no ambiente domiciliar, no estado do Tocantins, no período de 1984/88.

Seven of these colonize artificial ecotopes and participate in Chagas* disease transmission. These oncs are prescnted hcre in a order based on how frequcntly they are found in domicilcs: Triatoma sórdida - 69,50%; T. infestans • 21,47%; Rhodnius neglectus - 2,87%; Panstrongylus megistus -1,41%; T. pseudomaculata -1,06%; R. prolixas -0,19% e T. brasiliensis - 0,04%. The triatomines' natural infection by Trypanosoma cruzi are: T. infestans - 3,85% and T. sórdida - 0,06%. The adults of the remaider six species rarely invade human dwellings although this invasion actually represents some risk of Chagas' disease transmission. This group's main role is to maintain the enzooty in the sylvatic cycle. These species are the following: R. pictipes, R. robustos, P. geniculatus, P. diasi, P. lignarius e Eratyrus mucronatus.porAcesso AbertoDistribuição de triatomíncosVetoresTripanosomíase americanaEpidemiologiaArtigo
