Resumen:
The methods used to control triatomine vectors of Trypanosoma cruzi, the
causal agent of Chagas disease, include the implementation of cultural
and mechanical practices, as well as biological and chemical control.
For decades, the use of third generation pyrethroids such as
deltamethrin, beta-cypermethrin, lambda-cyhalothrin and beta-cyfluthrin,
has been the most used method due to their fast and effective action for
triatomine elimination. However, despite significant control efforts,
Chagas disease has not been controlled, due to the large number of wild
hosts of the parasite and the diver- sity of vector species. Analyzing
the literature available on the topic, we outline that strategies for
controlling triatomines should be reframed within the Integrated Vector
Management and One Health approaches, combining the most effective and
sustainable methods, reducing economic, social, and environmental costs,
thus fostering affordable control actions in poor and marginalized
regions of the Americas.
