Triatoma infestans, the kissing bug, is a vector of Chagas disease, a parasitic illness caused by Trypanosoma cruzi. It is found in the Americas and feeds on the blood of mammals, including humans. T. infestans can transmit the parasite through its feces, which can lead to severe health issues. Control measures include improving housing conditions, using insecticides, and implementing vector control programs to reduce disease transmission.
