The insecticidal action on eggs of triatomine have been little considered in the control activitys of Chagas' disease. With objective [corrected] of to compare the potential of three synthetic pyrethroids (deltamethrin,alphacypermethrin and lambdacyhalothrin) on eggs, the authors realized laboratory tests. The pyretroid lambdacialotrin is more efficient. The following species were used in this experiment: Panstrongylus megistus and Triatoma sordida. The specie Triatoma sordida is more susceptible with the pyrethroids utilized.

Article Synopsis
- Bartonelloses are serious diseases caused by bacteria from the genus Bartonella, often transmitted through bites from fleas, lice, mosquitoes, and ticks, and can lead to conditions like endocarditis.
- A study conducted in Seabra, Brazil, tested 81 triatomines (a type of bug) for the presence of Bartonella henselae DNA using various PCR techniques, aiming to assess their potential as vectors.
- Results showed that 28.39% of the triatomines tested positive for B. henselae, while none were found to carry Trypanosoma cruzi, highlighting a significant link between these bugs and the bacteria, warranting further research on their role as disease vectors.
Entomological indicators and food sources of triatomines in the Brazilian semi-arid region.

Background: Triatomines are biological vectors of Trypanosoma cruzi, the etiological agent of Chagas Disease (CD) and have various mammalian hosts. This study evaluated the entomological indicators and food sources of triatomines in Petrolina in the semi-arid region of Brazil, where CD is endemic.
Methods: Triatomines were captured indoors and outdoors through an active search and entomological indices (household and natural infections) were calculated.

Background: Domiciliation by Triatoma sordida is a public health concern in South America. This study aimed to evaluate the morphometric changes in the domestic and peridomestic populations of T. sordida.

Background: The study of the ecology of Trypanosoma cruzi is challenging due to its extreme adaptive plasticity, resulting in the parasitism of hundreds of mammal species and dozens of triatomine species. The genetic analysis of blood meal sources (BMS) from the triatomine vector is an accurate and practical approach for gathering information on which wild mammal species participate in a local transmission network. South American coatis, Nasua nasua, act as important reservoir host species of T.

Article Synopsis
- * The female genitalia of the hybrids displayed traits from both parent species, and cytogenetic analyses showed normal chromosome structures.
- * Molecular studies linked the hybrids to both parent species through specific genetic markers, revealing similar feeding and defecation patterns as their parents.
