| Summary: | This integrative review aims to analyze the scientific publications in the last twelve years ontriatomines found at Ceará State. For this, a search was performed in the Biblioteca Virtualem Saúde (BVS) databases with association of the descriptors “Chagas Disease”, “Triatomines”and “Brazil”. After applying the inclusion, exclusion criteria and analysis of their content, eightarticles were selected for the analysis and discussion. Some species of triatomines found in theNortheast region are of extreme epidemiological importance since they are associated with humanhouseholds. The most prevalent species with epidemiological importance due to their largedistribution in Ceará and presence in the peridomestic environment are: Triatoma brasiliensis,Triatoma pseudomaculata, Panstrogylus megistus, Panstrogylus lutzi and Rhodnius nasutus.Several species of triatomines have the capacity to transmit T. cruzi and the ability to adapt tothe peridomestic and domestic environment turning humans more susceptible to infection, thusrequiring surveillance and vector control strategies. |
