Abstract | Chagas disease (CD) affects about eight million people worldwide. Brazil has the highest
number of estimated cases and the largest number of deaths due to CD. Considering the recent
outbreaks of oral CD involving at least 27 cases of acute CD in Pernambuco (PE) as well as 18 cases
and 2 deaths in the Rio Grande do Norte (RN), we developed dichotomous keys for the identification
of triatomine species in these Brazilian states based on cytogenetic data. All triatomine species could
be distinguished by cytogenetic characteristics, emphasizing the importance of the newly developed
taxonomic keys for the correct identification of triatomes from PE and RN, particularly for species that
exhibit morphological similarities, such as Triatoma brasilensis and T. petrocchiae (present in both states)
and T. maculata and T. pseudomaculata (as T. pseudomaculata has been misidentified as T. maculata in PE
and RN). These alternative keys are expected to provide a useful tool for the scientific community
and, above all, health agents, aimed at preventing mistakes from occurring in the identification of the
vectors present in PE and RN related to CD outbreaks caused by oral infection. | en_US |
