dc.description.abstractConfirmation of sylvatic colonies of Triatoma infestans has a significant connotation for Paraguay, which is prone to persistent domestic infestations. Incorporating a trained dog (NERO) to the research team was highly successful. This article describes the dog training process and its importance for the early detection of vectoral transmission of Chagas disease. The surprising ability that NERO has demonstrated will enable the project to provide specific data regarding unknown wild ecotopes of T. infestans, as well as the potential use of trained dogs for community surveillance of triatomine species, which is considered particularly important for public health.en
