Abstract |
This paper reports, for the first time, the presence of Rhodnius montenegrensis in the State of Acre, Brazil. Two female R. montenegrensis were collected in a dwelling in the rural area of Rio Branco, Acre, Brazil. The occurrence of this species was confirmed, and the number of Triatominae species in the State of Acre increased from four to five. Further studies should be performed to reach a clearer understanding of the ecology of this arthropod, its possible role in transmitting Chagas' disease and rangeliosis, and its current geographical distribution in the region. |
