Abstract INTRODUCTION:
Panstrongylus megistus is the main triatomine involved in the human transmission of Trypanosoma cruzi in Minas Gerais, Brazil. We analyzed the occurrence of triatomines in the Itaúna micro-regions for healthcare.METHODS:
Data were collected as part of routine entomological surveillance activities, including the species identity, capture site, developmental stage, and trypanosome infection.RESULTS:
In total, 503 specimens from five species were captured (495 P. megistus). Adults were mainly captured by residents inside their homes, whereas nymphs were mostly captured by public health professionals outside.CONCLUSIONS:
The epidemiologically important triatomine, P. megistus, continues to persist in our study region.
