Table 2. Prevalence of T. cruzi infection in the most sampled vector species.

Vector species Number of records Mean prevalence (%)
A data record is defined as a prevalence value for a defined location and collection period derived from a unique study. The total number of specimens tested is given in parentheses after the number of records, and the full range of prevalence values is given in parentheses after the mean prevalence value.

Triatoma pseudomaculata 2,286 (118,064) 4.6 (0–100)
Panstrongylus megistus 1,951 (20,897) 10.2 (0–100)
Triatoma brasiliensis 1,795 (104,851) 4.6 (0–100)
