details Triatomines in Latin America are natural Chagas disease (ChD) vectors Triatomine domiciliation is one of the main factors increasing the occurrence risk of this disease in humans with three genera of significant epidemiological importance—Panstrongylus the invasion by triatomines has been reported This study aimed to survey triatomine fauna and determine the Trypanosoma cruzi natural infection rates in triatomines in the urban area of Barra do Garças Triatomine specimens were sampled by passive surveillance or active search by agents combating endemic diseases from 2019 to 2020 A parasitological feces diagnosis was performed to detect the presence of T molecular diagnosis and genetic sequencing were performed to determine the strain williami were found through morphological analyses These insects were sampled inside domiciles in an urban area neighboring Jardim Pitaluga (15° 51′57.7″ N The records were sampled in September 2019 and January 2021 williami specimens from the sampled colonies were positive for the T williami has been confirmed in an urban area of Barra do Garças Further studies are needed for a clearer understanding of the ecology of this species for prevention and control mechanisms since its sampled specimens had a high rate of natural infection by T the domiciliation of this species was demonstrated by observing all of its life stages This study aimed to survey triatomine fauna and determine the natural infection rates in Barra do Garças municipality This study would provide relevant information for improving the ChD monitoring activities of sanitary authorities Adapted from the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística—IBGE) 052° 16′04.5″ W) from the Triatoma williami colonies and the Parque Estadual da Serra Azul (PESA) (15° 49′15″ S 52° 12′57″ W) the climate in this region has a 60% annual average humidity and an annual average temperature of 20–27 °C The headquarters of the municipality are organized in 53 neighborhoods The city health secretary has 45 endemic control field agents to perform health surveillance and vector control activities Three of these agents work in the surveillance and control of ChD vectors The action of these agents consists of performing health education for ChD prevention and domicile inspections chemical control is performed using residual action insecticides made available by the Brazilian Ministry of Health Barra do Garças is comprised in the health region Garças Araguaia This city is the location of the regional health office of Barra do Garças and the Entomology Laboratory at the Regional Health Office (ERSBG abbreviation in Portuguese) from the state health secretary of Mato Grosso (SESMT abbreviation in Portuguese) Monthly spreadsheets from the ChD control program (PCDCh abbreviation in Portuguese) containing data on the activities were sent to ERSBG by SESMT and natural rate of infection were analyzed in ERSBG Investigations of whether there were seasonal patterns for species and the construction of historical series The analyzed insects were collected via passive surveillance by residents or active search by agents combating endemic diseases on scheduled domicile visits from 2019 to 2020 The second colony was found in January 2021 and entered in this analysis without waiting for the ERSBG database to close at the end of each year A parasitological examination of fresh feces from live-sampled specimens with intestinal contents was performed 5 μl of intestinal content plus two drops of phosphate-buffered saline (pH 7.2) between slides and coverslips were observed under a microscope optical at 400× This procedure is the conventional diagnosis recommended by the Ministry of Health in Brazil a request from a resident was attended by the ChD surveillance team where a triatomine entomological survey was conducted the agents performed another entomological research in that domicile the agents carried out residual chemical control in this domicile williami specimens from different stages of development were found The data were tabulated and analyzed using Excel 2016 for Windows® (Microsoft The following entomological indicators were considered in the analysis: number of triatomines captured (males number of triatomines found inside and outside of the domiciles Descriptive statistics were used to obtain the absolute and relative frequencies The absolute frequency was estimated as the number of triatomine collected by specie and to calculate the relative frequencies used the absolute frequencies by the total number of triatomines Only entomologic indices are considered risk factors associated with T The results are presented in percentages and indices The triatomine prevalence was estimated as the number of triatomine specimens by the total number of triatomines collected The natural infection rate was calculated from the number of infected triatomines/number of triatomines examined × 100 T. williami has been registered in eight neighborhoods in the urban area of Barra do Garças, Mato Grosso, Brazil. In 2019 and 2020 (Table 1) the highest infestations recorded were found in boundaries neighborhoods of the PESA in descending order: Jd williami population was 75 females and 19 males in 2019 and 30 females and 10 males in 2020 The female-to-male ratio was not within the expected 1:1 pattern: 3.9 (75/19) and 3 (30/10) times more females than males From 2019 to 2020, 178 T. williami were collected. Sixty percent of them were found inside the domiciles, 22% in the peridomicile, and we did not have any information for 18% of them. For intradomicile environments, bedrooms and living rooms were the most infested (Table 2) We observed a seasonality pattern from a monthly density analysis of the sampled triatomines from 2019 to 2020. Such a pattern was associated with the increase in the sampled triatomine in the third quarter of the respective years analyzed. This period was recorded as the driest climatic season in the region (Fig. 2). The number of Triatoma williami collected between 2019 and 2020 in Barra do Garças A total of 211 triatomine specimens were collected between 2019 and 2020. It was possible to assess the natural infection in 132 specimens from these samples. Of the 132 triatomine specimens analyzed, 52 (39.4%) were naturally infected with T. cruzi, revealing a high natural infection rate. T. williami had a higher infection prevalence (Table 3) Four triatomine species were found naturally infected The natural infection rate in descending order according to species was 43.6% (48/110) williami had the highest infection prevalence representing the most significant risk for the human population in Barra do Garças A The field agents performed an entomological survey in the cracks of resident bed; B One male and three female specimens of Triatoma williami; C Eggs (yellow circle) and nymphs (red circle) collected in Barra do Garças After these triatomine specimens were found the endemic control agents of the city health secretary from Barra do Garças conducted a residual chemical control in that domicile no entomological research or chemical control were performed in this domicile more specimens were caught by residents inside their domiciles These specimens were handed over to the ERSBG from the SESMT This was the second compound domiciliation record with eight sampled specimens: two males In February 2021, the field agents carried out residual chemical control in the infested domicile. In June 2021, the resident on that infested domicile collected and delivered two additional T. williami nymphs to the ERSBG from the SESMT: one nymph in the N1 stage, one dead male, and one exuviae (Fig. 4). The specimens of Triatoma williami sampled after the residual chemical control in Barra do Garças T. williami colonies were found in beds indoors in an urban area in the Jardim Pitaluga neighborhood (Fig. 1) in Barra do Garças Voucher specimens from the first colony were deposited in the Herman Lent Collection of the Instituto Oswaldo Cruz in Rio de Janeiro CTIOC13006; three nymphs (CTIOC13007 to CTIOC13009) and five eggs williami colony were deposited in the “Entomological Collection Prof José Maria Soares Barata” in the Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences UNESP—Araraquara—São Paulo Brazil williami colonies found in an urban area in Barra do Garças two adult female specimens were positive for T cruzi in the parasitological diagnosis being submitted to the molecular diagnosis and later to the genetic sequencing cruzi strain was revealed by the identification results williami in the domiciliation process should be problematic because of the record of this species naturally infected by T found that the natural infection rate of this species by T We observed an elevated infection rate of T cruzi in 2019 and 2020 in our parasitological feces diagnosis indicating the transmission risk of the parasite by this vector the transmission risk of the parasite to humans in the region might be increased by the occurrence of triatomine colonies infected by this strain in domicile environments and triatomines highly attracted to artificial lights the environmental parameters encountered during this study particularly during the first hours after sunset are favorable for the active dispersal of sylvatic triatomines One immediate recommendation is that external artificial lights on walls must remain turned off during the first hours after sunset Triatomines find favorable atmospheric and environmental conditions for dispersal The primary limitation of this study was the COVID-19 pandemic Because the domicile visits were reduced along with the communication of new triatomine specimens being caught the number of specimens analyzed in 2020 was lower than in the other years Another limiting factor was the number of dead triatomines delivered by residents impairing the parasitological diagnosis of the presence of T this study is the first to confirm the domiciliation of T williami in urban areas of Barra do Garças This record occurred after sporadic invasions by this species in domiciles near an environmental conservation unit This park is composed of native vegetation and wild animals These conditions reinforce the importance of entomological surveillance for the sanitary control of triatomines Further studies are needed to better understand the ecology of these species for their prevention and control mechanisms since they have a high natural infection rate by T Specimens from this study were deposited in the Herman Lent Collection of the Instituto Oswaldo Cruz in Rio de Janeiro and in the Entomological Collection Prof° Dr in the Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences UNESP—Araraquara—São Paulo Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico Escritório Regional de Saúde de Barra do Garças Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística Secretaria de Estado de Saúde de Mato Grosso Taxonomia dos vetores da doença de Chagas da forma à molécula Atualidades em medicina tropical no Brasil: vetores Vetores da doença de chagas no Brasil (Zoologia: guias e manuais de identificação series) Curitiba: Sociedade Brasileira de Zoologia; 2014 Souza ES, Von Atzingen NCB, Furtado MB, Oliveira J, Nascimento JD, et al.
