Abstract Synopsis

  • The text discusses the first comprehensive dataset for monitoring non-American Triatomine insects, which are responsible for transmitting Chagas disease to mammals including humans, focusing on 16 species found in Africa, Asia, and Oceania.
  • The dataset includes 396 verified records from 1926 to 2022, with detailed geographic and ecological information, highlighting new insights about their distribution, including inland locations and recently identified species.
  • This resource aims to improve global surveillance, ecological research, and risk assessment of Chagas disease vectors beyond the Americas, aiding disease control efforts worldwide.]
