RESUMO

ABSTRACT Background: Chagas disease, a zoonosis transmitted mainly by hematophagous insects of the subfamily Triatominae, is caused by Trypanosoma cruzi, classified into six discrete typing units (DTUs: TcI-TcVI and Tcbat). Methods: Insect vectors were collected from 84 human dwellings in the municipality of Santo Domingo Tehuantepec, Oaxaca, Mexico; 4.76% were infested. DTUs were determined using conventional and nested PCR. Results: The infection rate was 43.6%. All insects were infected with TcI while one specimen showed mixed infection with TcII. Conclusions: This is the first report of T. cruzi mixed infection in Triatoma phyllosoma, its main vector in the study region.

RESUMO

Resumen Introducción El parásito Trypanosoma cruzi es el agente etiológico de la enfermedad de Chagas. Su transmisión es a través de insectos de la subfamilia Triatominae, donde Triatoma dimidiata es uno de los vectores principales en México y Centro América. La transmisión del parásito depende de factores como la tasa de infección de las distintas especies y el tiempo de defecación después de la alimentación. Objetivo Evaluar la infección con T. cruzi en los cinco estadios de T. dimidiata y determinar el tiempo de defecación postprandial. Material y métodos Treinta individuos de cada estadio de T. dimidiata fueron alimentados con sangre infectada con T. cruzi. Se llevó a cabo una segunda alimentación 20 días posteriores para evaluar la presencia del parásito en las heces y medir el tiempo de defecación postprandial. Resultados El número total de ejemplares infectados con T. cruzi fue de 99 (66 %). No se encontraron diferencias significativas en la tasa de infección por estadio ninfal (p>0.05). El tiempo de defecación fue menor en los individuos del quinto estadio en relación a los otros grupos (p<0.05). Conclusiones Todos los estadios de T. dimidiata se infectaron con T. cruzi, considerando al quinto instar como un mejor vector del parásito en condiciones de laboratorio.


Abstract Introduction Trypanosoma cruzi is the etiologic agent of Chagas disease. Transmission is through insects of the Triatominae subfamily, where Triatoma dimidiata is one of the main vectors in Mexico and Central America. This parasite transmission depends on factors such as the infection rate of the vector and its defecation time after feeding. Aim Evaluate the ability of five nymphal stages of T. dimidiata to cause infection of T. cruzi and determine the posprandial defecation time. Material and methods Thirty individuals of each stage of T. dimidiata were fed with blood infected with T. cruzi. A second feed was carried out after 20 days to evaluate the presence of the parasite in the feces and timing of postprandial defecation. Results The total number of individuals infected with T. cruzi was 99 (66 %). Differences statistically significant were not found among the nymphal stages (p> 0.05). Defecation time was lower in individuals of the fifth stage with difference statistically significant (p <0.05). Conclusions All stages of T. dimidiata were infected with T. cruzi, being the fifth stage the better vector in laboratory conditions.
