| Abstract: | The migration of invasive vector species has contributed to the worldwide extensionof infectious diseases such as dengue (Aedes aegypti) and chikungunya (Aedesalbopictus). It is probably a similar behaviour for certain vectors of Chagas diseasewhich allowed it to become a continental burden in Latin America. One of them,Triatoma rubrofasciata has also been spreading throughout the tropical andsubtropical world. Here, the recent and massive peridomestic presence of T.rubrofasciata in Vietnam cities is reported, and tentatively explained, highlightingthe need for improved entomological surveillance. |
