  abstract = {{T}he originally wild species of the {M}eccus complex are important vectors of {C}hagas disease in {M}exico. {I}n {W}est {M}exico, {M}eccus longipennis plays an important epidemiological role. {T}o understand the genetic structure of the domestic and wild populations of this species, a preliminary study with five polymorphic microsatellite loci was conducted. {T}he population genetics analysis showed high structuring between peridomestic biotopes, with breeding subunits detected in a single peridomestic structure. {I}n the wild environment, two genetic patterns were observed according to the biotope, possible breeding subunits in large rocky formations and a larger panmictic unit in agropastoral areas, suggesting considerable dispersal of bugs in this biotope. {M}oreover, the discovery of two foci of wild populations at the edge of {G}uadalajara city raises the question of new urban areas where the phenomenon of bug incursions into households could constitute a risk of transmission of {C}hagas disease.},
