The present document has the objective to analyze published information on Triatoma dimidiata (Latreille, 1811), to project some short term research tendencies on the ecology of this haematophagous species identified as one of the main vectors of Trypanosoma cruzi, Chagas disease causal agent, in Mexico, Central America, and north of South America. There is solid evidence about adult T. dimidiata seasonal dispersion fromsylvan areas to domestic and peridomestic ecotopes. This provide annual premise infestation, making the control of T. cruzi transmission difficult,nevertheless, there is still lack of knowledge on the dispersion causes, therefore and according with the revised literature, it shows up the need for research attendance of eco-physiological aspects and its relationship with spatial and temporal ecological dynamics of sylvan populations, mainlythose that lead seasonal and reproductive population patterns.References
