Altitudinal distribution and species richness of triatomines (Hemiptera:Reduviidae) in Colombia

Abstract: Background Chagas disease is considered to be endemic in up to 40% of the territory of Colombia, and to date 27 triatomine species have been reported the country. The purpose of this study was to update the geographical distribution of triatomine species in Colombia and assess the species richness patterns and their altitudinal distribution. Methods Occurrence data were compiled between 2007 and 2020, including from reports of entomological surveil… Show more

“…The species richness of triatomines raises the likelihood of contact with humans, facilitating both oral and vector transmission pathways [ 22 ]. Particularly, the results from this study support that the departments in Colombia with the highest triatomine species richness, specifically Casanare and Santander, also reported the most cases of acute CD [ 23 ]. These departments experienced outbreaks associated mainly with contaminated food and beverages like mandarin orange and soursop juice, highlighting the presence of P. geniculatus, Rhodnius prolixus, Rhodnius pallescens and Eratyrus cuspidatus [ 4 ].…”
