description |
Triatominae bugs are the vectors of Chagas disease, a major concern to public
health especially in Latin America, where vector-borne Chagas disease has undergone
resurgence due mainly to diminished triatomine control in many endemic municipalities.
Although the majority of Triatominae species occurs in the Americas, species belonging
to the genus Linshcosteus occur in India, and species belonging to the Triatoma
rubrofasciata complex have been also identified in Africa, the Middle East, South-East
Asia, and in the Western Pacific. Not all of Triatominae species have been found to be
infected with Trypanosoma cruzi, but the possibility of establishing vector transmission
to areas where Chagas disease was previously non-endemic has increased with global
population mobility. Additionally, the worldwide distribution of triatomines is concerning,
as they are able to enter in contact and harbor other pathogens, leading us to wonder if
they would have competence and capacity to transmit them to humans during the bite
or after successful blood feeding, spreading other infectious diseases. In this review, we
searched the literature for infectious agents transmitted to humans by Triatominae. There
are reports suggesting that triatominesmay be competent vectors for pathogens such as
Serratiamarcescens, Bartonella, andMycobacteriumleprae, and that triatomine infection
with other microrganisms may interfere with triatomine-T. cruzi interactions, altering their
competence and possibly their capacity to transmit Chagas disease. |
