Resumo: American trypanosomiasis, known as Chagas disease, is a potentially fatal disease caused by the unicellular flagellated protozoan Trypanosoma cruzi, and its intermediate host is the hematophagous insect named the triatomine. In Brazil, 10 genera of triatomines are of epidemiological importance for the disease. Because of the preventive measures and epidemiological monitoring, this study aimed to verify the triatomine species in the municipality of Santana do Ipanema, belonging to the state of Alagoas, since there is no data in the literature with such information. For this, a cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted with data from the secretariat of the municipality of Santana do Ipanema to verify the species of captured and positive triatomines, between the years 2016 and 2020. During the study period, a total of 405 triatomines collected in the municipality were recorded, and three species were identified. It was observed that most of the collections occurred in the rural area of the municipality with almost 15 times more collections than in the urban area; however, the highest rate of positivity occurred in the urban area. The most common triatomine found in the municipality studied was Rhodnius domesticus, while Triatoma brasiliensis obtained more positive specimens. Although there are no confirmed cases of Chagas disease in the population of Santana do Ipanema, it was found that there is the presence of vectors that transmit Chagas disease and positive vectors for Trypanosoma cruzi. Therefore, our study suggests that entomological surveillance should be more present and continuous in both areas of the municipality for the effective control of Chagas disease

No Brasil, 10 gêneros de triatomíneos possuem importância epidemiológica para doença. Diante das medidas preventivas e de monitorização epidemiológica, este estudo teve como objetivo verificar as espécies de triatomíneos no município de Santana do Ipanema, pertencente ao estado de Alagoas, Brasil, entre 2016 e 2020. uma vez que não há dados na literatura com essas informações. Para tanto, foi conduzido um estudo descritivo transversal com dados da secretaria de endemias do município de Santana do Ipanema. Durante o período de estudo, foram registrados um total de 405 triatomíneos coletados no município, sendo identificadas três espécies. Observou-se que a maioria das coletas ocorreram na zona rural do município, com quase 15x mais coletas do que na zona urbana; entretanto, a maior taxa de positividade ocorreu na zona urbana. O triatomíneo mais encontrado foi o Rhodnius domesticus, enquanto o Triatoma brasiliensis obteve mais espécimes positivos. Embora não haja casos confirmados de doença de Chagas na população santanense, verificou-se que há a presença de vetores transmissores da doença de Chagas e vetores positivos para Trypanosoma cruzi. Portanto, nosso estudo sugere que a vigilância entomológica tenha uma atuação mais presente e contínua em ambas áreas do município para o controle efetivo da doença de Chagas.Universidade Estadual de Alagoas - Eduneal2023-01-10info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://diversitasjournal.com.br/diversitas_journal/article/view/243510.48017/dj.v8i1.2435Diversitas Journal; Vol. 8 No. 1 (2023): Sociedade e ciência: um diálogo necessárioDiversitas Journal; Vol. 8 Núm. 1 (2023): Sociedade e ciência: um diálogo necessárioDiversitas Journal; v. 8 n. 1 (2023): Sociedade e ciência: um diálogo necessário2525-521510.48017/dj.v8i1reponame:Diversitas Journalinstname:Universidade Estadual de Alagoas (UNEAL)instacron:UNEALporhttps://diversitasjournal.com.br/diversitas_journal/article/view/2435/1961Copyright (c) 2022 Dalton Ferreira Matoshttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessFerreira Matos, Dalton Alves de Sousa Lima Santos, Allan Bruno Martins Cirilo, Tatyane Soares Gomes, Dharliton Holanda de Almeida, Delma2023-02-24T14:58:56Zoai:ojs.diversitasjournal.com.br:article/2435Revistahttps://diversitasjournal.com.br/diversitas_journal/indexPUBhttps://www.e-publicacoes.uerj.br/index.php/muralinternacional/oairevistadiversitasjournal@gmail.com2525-52152525-5215opendoar:2023-02-24T14:58:56Diversitas Journal - Universidade Estadual de Alagoas (UNEAL)false
