Triatoma infestans

Lo Triatoma infestans (conegut en portugués coma barbeiro, chupança e altres noms; en francés e espanhòl coma vinchuca) es un insècte sud-american que s'alimenta de la sang umana o animala, e es lo vector del protozoari Trypanosoma cruzi, transmetor de la Malautiá de Chagas.

L'insècte abita en regions ruralas, entre plantacions de cana de sucre, entre lenha verda o fusta gardat, o en ostals amb parets de tèrra seca.

Dins la lucha contra l'insècte, cal redusir las abitacions precàrias dins las zonas ruralas, e tanben utilizar d'insecticidas, coma lo DDT.

Acta Tropica 110 (2009) 88–100. p. 89: The term ‘vinchuca’ widely used in Chile, Argentina and Uruguay, is derived from Quechua and typically translated as “he that lets himself fall”, perhaps referring to bugs falling from the house roof to reach their hosts below. In Peru, the widely used term is ‘chirimacha’, again from Quechua, usually translated as “drunk with the cold” and assumed to refer to the bugs’ dislike of very cold conditions (and absence from the high Andes).
