Triatomines (Hemiptera: Reduviidae) vectors of Trypanosoma cruzi Chagas 1909, in the State of Guerrero, Mexico Introduction. Previous studies on presence and epidemiological importance of vector triatomine species of Trypanosoma cruzi in the state of Gue- rrero are very scarce and have focused on only a few localities.
