Overview

Analysis shows significant intradomiciliary infestation rates of triatomines in Sergipe, indicating urgency for enhanced vector control measures.

Key Points

  • Intradomiciliary infestation by triatomines averaged 88.9%, reaching up to 100% in certain years.
  • A total of 2,498 triatomines were collected from households, predominantly adults at 86.7%.
  • Significant differences were found in species distribution in intradomiciliary versus peridomiciliary environments.
  • A yearly decline of 13.49 triatomines was noted, with annual fluctuations peaking in 2009 and dipping to the lowest in 2023.
