How Seasons Change Chagas: The Secret Life of Mepraia spinolai
Seasonal changes play a powerful role in shaping the transmission of Chagas disease, and at the center of this dynamic is Mepraia spinolai, a key wild vector of Trypanosoma cruzi. From temperature shifts to rainfall patterns, each season influences the bug’s activity, feeding behavior, reproduction, and interaction with hosts. Warmer months often boost mobility and infection risk, while colder or drier periods alter survival strategies and habitat use. Understanding the secret seasonal life of Mepraia spinolai not only reveals how Chagas disease persists in nature but also helps improve surveillance, risk prediction, and vector control strategies in endemic regions.
