In PB, <jats:italic>Trypanosoma cruzi<\/jats:italic> infection was not detected in either peridomestic or domestic vector populations. In contrast, in RN, <jats:italic>T. brasiliensis<\/jats:italic> was detected with high parasite prevalence in these ecotopes (30.7\u201340.0%). Moreover, peridomicile insect population densities were more than double the average densities of all other settings evaluated (19.17 versus &lt; 8.94 triatomine\/man-hour). Genotyped parasites evidenced a mix of <jats:italic>T. cruzi<\/jats:italic> lineages circulating in both peridomestic and sylvatic populations. Although vector control efforts have dramatically decreased Chagas disease transmission to humans, recent outbreaks have been detected in four municipalities of RN state. Our results clearly evidence a worrisome proximity between infected vectors and humans in RN. Indeed, finding of infected <jats:italic>T. brasiliensis<\/jats:italic> inside homes is routinely recorded by local vector control surveillance staff around the outbreak area, challenging the current and conventional view that vector transmissions are controlled in northeastern Brazil. This scenario calls for strengthening vector control surveillance and interventions to prevent further Chagas transmission, especially in RN State.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.4269\/ajtmh.16-0823","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,3,14]],"date-time":"2017-03-14T17:15:27Z","timestamp":1489511727000},"page":"1456-1459","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":30,"title":["High Triatoma brasiliensis Densities and Trypanosoma cruzi Prevalence in Domestic and Peridomestic Habitats in the State of Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil: The Source for Chagas Disease Outbreaks?"],"prefix":"10.4269","volume":"96","author":[{"given":"Mauricio","family":"Lilioso","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Programa de P\u00f3s-Gradua\u00e7\u00e3o em Ecologia e Monitoramento Ambiental (PPGEMA), Universidade Federal da Para\u00edba (UFPB), Joao Pessoa, Brazil."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Elaine","family":"Folly-Ramos","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Programa de P\u00f3s-Gradua\u00e7\u00e3o em Ecologia e Monitoramento Ambiental (PPGEMA), Universidade Federal da Para\u00edba (UFPB), Joao Pessoa, Brazil."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Fabiana Lopes","family":"Rocha","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Programa de P\u00f3s-Gradua\u00e7\u00e3o em Ecologia e Monitoramento Ambiental (PPGEMA), Universidade Federal da Para\u00edba (UFPB), Joao Pessoa, Brazil."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jorge","family":"Rabinovich","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centro de Estudios Parasitol\u00f3gicos y de Vectores (CEPAVE), Universidad Nacional de La Plata, La Plata, Argentina."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Claire","family":"Capdevielle-Dulac","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"UMR Evolution, G\u00e9nomes, Comportement, Ecologie, CNRS-IRD-Univ.
