Reinfestação do município de Bambuí por Triatomíneos transmissôres da doença de Chagas

Statistical studies made in Bambuí (9 localities), show that the sprouting anew and the multiplication of the triatomidae are processing themselves slowly through the residual foci and from the bordering districts. The principal species is P. megistus, there being a small percentage of T. infestans, leading its greater possibilities of exterminating this species with the present schemes. Buildings of primitive masonry seem to be a greater prophilatic problems than the mud huts. Infection of the captured triatomidae remain very low. Comments on phophylatical performances are made, emphasis being put on the importance of periodical researches in endemic regions.
