Abstract

Domestic and wild triatomines in the department of Santander have an epidemiological impact, as recently they have been linked to outbreaks of acute Chagas disease. The analysis of their diversity and temporal variation contributes to the understanding of their biology and ecology in one of the most endemic areas of the country. To analyze triatominae diversity in two regions of Santander. We analyzed the triatomine records for Santander contained in the CINTROP-UIS entomology lab database. We grouped the information for two regions: the Middle Magdalena area and the Andean region, and for each one we designed species accumulation and range-abundance curves, we calculated diversity and equality indices, and we analyzed colonization and temporal variation or persistence of the community. Ninety five percent of triatomines came from the Andean area and 4.57% from Magdalena Medio, with nine and ten species each. The dominant species in the Andean area were Rhodnius prolixus and Triatoma dimidiata while in Magdalena Medio they were Rhodnius pallescens and Panstrongylus geniculatus. We found a greater diversity and richness in Middle Magdalena compared to the Andean area. The temporal variation showed persistence of communities over...Continue Reading
