Abstract

Rhodnius ecuadoriensis Lent & León (Hemiptera: Reduviidae) is a major Chagas disease (CD) vector in Ecuador, but little is known about its population genetic structure. We tested six Short Tandem Repeats (STRs) from R. pallescens Barber in wild and synanthropic R. ecuadoriensis populations. Two STRs were monomorphic, two yielded ambiguous alleles, and two were polymorphic (16 and 9 alleles) and used for analysis. Allele frequencies, AMOVA, and a Bayesian population structure test all favored a single-population hypothesis. These preliminary results suggest that local wild andsynanthropic R. ecuadoriensis populations frequently exchange migrants; long-term CD control will therefore require continuous entomological surveillance in coastal Ecuador
