“…In the last seven years, the scientific repository of Fiocruz/COLVET went through an increase in deposits of biological material, jumping from 4,778 specimens of triatomines in the year 2014 ( Souza et al 2014 ) to 12,568 in the year 2020. Accordingly, there was also an increase in the number of species and specimens, i.e., species not yet represented in the scientific repository and specimens with provenance from different locations (i.e., municipalities, states, countries, biomes, and ecotopes).…”

“…In addition, both scientific and educational repositories contribute to routine entomological surveillance services. In 2014, an article was published presenting the diversity of triatomines deposited in the scientific repository of Fiocruz/COLVET ( Souza et al 2014 ). However, the number of specimens deposited in the scientific collection has been increasing and, consequently, the diversity of species as well.…”

The Coleção de Vetores de Tripanosomatídeos (Fiocruz/COLVET), Minas Gerais, Brazil, stands out as one of the most important collections of blood-sucking triatomines, the vectors of Trypanosoma cruzi that causes Chagas disease. The aim is to describe the collection and the services it provides to support scientific research, educational activities, and entomological surveillance between 2013–2019.The data associated with the specimens held in Fiocruz/COLVET is available from the Sistema de Informação sobre a Biodiversidade Brasileira (SiBBr). These specimen metadata were analyzed and either tabulated or plotted on graph and maps. The records of services provided by the collection between 2013–2019 were also categorized and analyzed. There are 12,568 triatomine specimens deposited in the collection that belong to 77 species and 11 genera, from 15 American countries. Of the ~ 65 species of triatomines found in Brazil, 38 (57.6%) are present in the collection, including specimens from all biomes and all but three Brazilian states. The occurrence of Triatoma costalimai, Triatoma lenti, Rhodnius nasutus, and Panstrongylus lenti apparently collected beyond their known distribution ranges are reported and discussed. The collection provided 168 services, supporting educational activities (41.7%), scientific research (35.7%), and regional/national entomological surveillance of triatomines (22.6%). Between the years 2014 and 2020, the number of biological specimens deposited in the Fiocruz/COLVET repository increased from 4,778 to 12,568 triatomine specimens. In addition to its great value to biodiversity conservation, the collection is of great importance because of its support of research and educational activities, and contributions to entomological surveillance, and, therefore, to public health.

“…The software development approach employs a series of “yes” or “no” questions conducting the user in direction of the correct species or taxon identification. Basically, the identification is based on morphological characters visualized by photos from catalogued specimens from Chagas Disease Vectors Collection (Fiocruz-COLVEC) (14), as well as, live ones from Fiocruz insectarium colonies.…”

Triatomines are blood-sucking insects that transmit the causative agent of Chagas disease, Trypanosoma cruzi. Despite being recognized as a difficult task, the correct taxonomic identification of triatomine species is crucial for vector control in Latin America, where the disease is endemic. In this context, we have developed a web and mobile tool based on PostgreSQL database to help healthcare technicians to overcome the difficulties to identify triatomine vectors when the technical expertise is missing. The web and mobile version makes use of real triatomine species pictures and dichotomous key method to support the identification of potential vectors that occur in Brazil. It provides a user example-driven interface with simple language. TriatoKey can also be useful for educational purposes. Database URL: http://triatokey.cpqrr.fiocruz.br
