COLOMBIAN TRIATOMINAE AND THEIR INFESTATION WITH TRYPANOSOMATID FLAGELLATES
View through CrossRef
The distribution of Colombian Triatominae and their infection with flagellates is presented in the form of tables. Rhodnius prolixus is the main vector of Trypanosoma cruzi in Colombia and is abundant in the central and eastern part of the country. R. prolixus, Triatoma dimidiata and T. venosa have been collected 20 times in localities above 2.000 m altitude and in ten of these localities the insects were infected with Trypanosoma cruzi. Seven of the 15 known Colombian species of Triatominae harbored flagellates and Triatoma venosa was found to be a new intermediate host for Trypanosoma cruzi.
