Abstract

abstract: Kissing bugs (Hemiptera: Reduviidae) are blood-feeding ectoparasites found primarily in the tropics and subtropics of the Americas. These bugs are vectors of Trypanosomatidae to their mammalian hosts, including humans. The distribution of Triatoma spp. in the Nearctic region is still not fully known, and their relevance as possible vectors of Trypanosoma cruzi to humans and animals is of growing concern. We report the first record of Triatoma sanguisuga from Wyoming, the northern-most reported collection in the western United States, and include collection records for Triatoma protracta in Colorado that were previously unclear.

美国怀俄明州三袋目（半翅目：红蝇科）新记录。

吻蝽(半翅目:吻蝽科)是一种主要分布于美洲热带和亚热带地区的血食性体外寄生虫。这些臭虫是锥虫科向包括人类在内的哺乳动物宿主传播的媒介。Triatoma spp.在新北极地区的分布尚不完全清楚，它们作为克氏锥虫可能传播给人和动物的媒介的相关性日益引起人们的关注。我们报告了来自怀俄明州的血斑Triatoma sanguisuga的第一个记录，这是美国西部最北部报道的收集，并包括科罗拉多州的长斑Triatoma protracta的收集记录，这些记录以前并不清楚。

期刊介绍： Comparative Parasitology (continuing the Journal of the Helminthological Society of Washington in its 67th volume) focuses on parasitological research of a comparative nature, emphasizing taxonomy, systematics, ecology, biogeography, evolution, faunal survey, and biological inventory within a morphological and/or molecular context. The scope of Comparative Parasitology extends to all parasitic faunas, including helminths, protistans and arthropods.
