“…Triatoma guasayana was an active flyer seeking out potential hosts, with most flight activity occurring just after sunset. Both T. guasayana and T. sordida have been implicated as sylvatic vectors of T. cruzi in parts of the dry Chaco region (Wisnivesky-Colli et al 1997; Vezzani et al 2001). In Paraguayan localities, both species were frequently observed near and around households, especially the adults, which have a great capacity for flight (Yeo et al 2005; Rolón et al 2011).…”

“…and trunks and this species usually feeds on rodents, marsupials and birds (Carcavallo et al 1988, Vezzani et al 2001. Its epidemiological importance is considered but in 1985 its presence in housing, where T. infestans had been controlled by insecticides (Carcavallo et al, 1985), was mentioned.…”

“…The population structure of T. patagonica reveals that almost all the adults were collected in summer, whereas those of silvatic triatomines from Northern Argentina such as T. sordida (Bar & Wisnivesky 2001) and T. guasayana (Vezzani et al 2001) were only found before this season. This result may indicate a delay in the reproductive period of T. patagonica possibly related to lower spring temperatures registered in Patagonia.…”

“…In Argentina, the main candidates to occupy the vacant niche left by T. infestans would be the silvatic and peridomestic species of the sordida group: T. sordida Stål (Bar et al 2002), T. guasayana Wygodzinsky & Abalos (Gajate et al 1996), and T. patagonica Del Ponte. The former two species have been intensively studied (Forattini et al 1982, Wisnivesky-Colli et al 1997, Rocha Pires et al 1999, Bar & Wisnivesky-Colli 2001, Vezzani et al 2001), but there is comparatively little information available on the ecology of T. patagonica and current knowledge is based on non-methodical studies.…”
