Abstract

Although Triatoma rubrofasciata is occasionally found naturally infected by Trypanosoma cruzi it is not considered an important vector of Chagas disease. It is normally the vector of Trypanosoma conorhini which infects Rattus rattus since this insect is in close association with the rat. It is found mostly in port cities and the knowledge on its biology is still scarce.
