ABSTRACT
Chagas disease (also known as American trypanosomiasis) is a zoonotic disease caused by Trypanosoma cruzi. It has a long incubation period and low diagnosis rate. At present, there is no vaccine to prevent it, and there is no specific drug at the late stage of the disease. Therefore, some scholars call it "new AIDS". In the past two decades, Chagas disease has spread from the main epidemic area of Latin America to other non-epidemic countries. At the same time, Triatoma rubrofasciata, one of its main vectors, is widely distributed in the world, including some humid and warm southern areas of China. Therefore, in this paper, the distribution characteristics, biology and molecular biology of Triatoma rubrofasciata are comprehensively reviewed, in order to provide reference for the prevention and control of imported Chagas disease in China.
