This study documents 15 Triatominae species in Maranhão State, Brazil. Ten species inhabit São Luís Island, with five species found exclusively inland in Chapadas regions.

Area of Science:

  • Entomology
  • Vector Biology
  • Parasitology

Background:

  • The Triatominae subfamily, commonly known as kissing bugs, includes vectors of Chagas disease.
  • Maranhão State, Brazil, has a diverse entomological fauna, necessitating updated species distribution records.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compile a comprehensive checklist of Triatominae species present in Maranhão State.
  • To document the geographical distribution of these species within the state, differentiating coastal and inland populations.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review and field data compilation.
  • Species identification based on morphological characteristics.
  • Geographical mapping of species occurrences within Maranhão State.

Main Results:

  • A checklist of 15 known Triatominae species in Maranhão State was established.
  • Ten species were identified on São Luís Island, inhabiting sylvatic, peri-urban, and urban environments.
  • Five species (Panstrongylus megistus, Triatoma brasiliensis, Triatoma maculata, Triatoma pseudomaculata, and Rhodnius brethesi) were notably absent from the coastal area and primarily found in inland Chapadas regions.

Conclusions:

  • São Luís Island harbors a significant diversity of Triatominae species, including some with potential public health relevance.
  • The distribution patterns highlight distinct ecological niches for different Triatominae species within Maranhão State.
  • Further research on vector competence and ecological interactions is warranted for species found in different habitats.
