Resumo

Introduction: Triatomines are hematophagous insects that are important to public health since they are the vectors of American Trypanosomiasis. The objective of this study was to describe the occurrence of triatomines in homes in Cruzeiro do Sul, Acre, Brazil. Methods: The specimens were collected by an active search inside homes and also by a passive search by the residents. Results: A total of 55 triatomines were captured comprising of 5 species each of the genera Rhodnius, Eratyrus, and Panstrongylus. No colonies were detected, ruling out the possibility of domiciliation. Conclusions: Information on regional epidemiological dynamics contributes to the prevention and control of disease.
