Abstract:

The objective was to describe the main entomological indicators related to triatomines in the western mesoregion of Rio Grande do Norte. This is a descriptive, cross-sectional and retrospective study, developed based on a historical analysis of information on the triatomine capture carried out by the Chagas Disease Control Program,2008 to 2013. Five species were captured, of which the Triatoma brasiliensis and Triatoma pseudomaculata, by occupying the home and peridomiciliary environment, sequentially, and Panstrongylus lutzi by the highest rate of natural infection. It was observed a prevalence of nymphs among the captured specimens, higher triatominal density in the peridomicile, rates of infestation, colonization and natural infection of 5.6%, 49.6% and 0.8%, respectively, a significant difference in the distribution of specimens between The municipalities investigated and the absence of a decline in infestation and colonization rates between 2009 and 2012. The findings suggest the need for continuous surveillance, made possible by the association between field teams and communities, with emphasis on the proposal of health education For the recognition and notification of triatomines by the population.
