  abstract = {{A} total of 2,431 {T}riatoma brasiliensis were collected from 39 populations of {P}araiba ({PB}) and {R}io {G}rande do {N}orte ({RN}) states, {B}razil. {I}n {PB}, {T}rypanosoma cruzi infection was not detected in either peridomestic or domestic vector populations. {I}n contrast, in {RN}, {T}. brasiliensis was detected with high parasite prevalence in these ecotopes (30.7-40.0%). {M}oreover, peridomicile insect population densities were more than double the average densities of all other settings evaluated (19.17 versus < 8.94 triatomine/man-hour). {G}enotyped parasites evidenced a mix of {T}. cruzi lineages circulating in both peridomestic and sylvatic populations. {A}lthough vector control efforts have dramatically decreased {C}hagas disease transmission to humans, recent outbreaks have been detected in four municipalities of {RN} state. {O}ur results clearly evidence a worrisome proximity between infected vectors and humans in {RN}. {I}ndeed, finding of infected {T}. brasiliensis inside homes is routinely recorded by local vector control surveillance staff around the outbreak area, challenging the current and conventional view that vector transmissions are controlled in northeastern {B}razil. {T}his scenario calls for strengthening vector control surveillance and interventions to prevent further {C}hagas transmission, especially in {RN} {S}tate.},
