Abstract
NINO, Larry; CASTRO-SALAS, Mirley and MONCADA, Ligia I.. Housing conditions and observation of triatomines as estimation of domiciliation risk in Santa Rosalía, Vichada, Colombia. Rev. salud pública [online]. 2019, vol.21, n.6, pp.595-600. Epub June 28, 2021. ISSN 0124-0064. https://doi.org/10.15446/rsap.v21n6.75837.
Objective
Correlate between observation of triatomine in intradomicile and housing conditions and ecological environment, as risk estimate of household infestation.
Materials and Methods
A descriptive cross-sectional study using structured non-random surveys, implemented in 162 homes. The analysis methods included univariate, bivariate and models of binary logistic regression.
Results
The main factors associated with triatomine observation relate to structural materials of housing, access to public services, the presence of palms and burrowing mammals.
Conclusions
The floors of dust and palm roof homes are important in household vector, while palms and the presence of burrowing mammals suggest triatomine preference towards natural ecotopes on anthropic environments.
Keywords : Chagas disease; triatominae; risk factors (source: MeSH, NLM).
