Abstract
Preliminary evaluations of an insecticidal paint based on diazinon, chlorpyrifos and pyriproxyfen in a micro-encapsulated formulation (Inesfly 5A IGR) have shown that it has effective and persistent activity against Triatoma infestans inside homes and in areas surrounding homes, in a highly infested region of the Bolivian Chaco. Furthermore, the evaluations have highlighted that the product presents good handling characteristics and gives a good appearance to houses and outhouses that have been treated, and that its acceptance among the population and the local sanitary authorities is excellent. This encourages new investigations and the use of the product on a larger scale and against other vector species for Chagas disease.

Entre os atuais desafios para consolidar a luta contra a doença de Chagas humana nas Américas, a luta antitriatomínica representa grande prioridade em todos os países endêmicos, seja na chamada fase de ataque, seja na de vigilância epidemiológica[3 9 10]
B) Impressões atuais em cerca de 60 unidades domiciliares visitadas, nas comunidades supra mencionadas, com pintura realizada entre 5 e 9 meses passados: x Taxas de infestação: não foi detectada nenhuma vivenda infestada por triatomíneos ou com vestígios recentes dos mesmos, tanto no intra como no peridomicílio
Summary
Preliminary evaluations of an insecticidal paint based on diazinon, chlorpyrifos and pyriproxyfen in a micro-encapsulated formulation (Inesfly 5A IGR ) have shown that it has effective and persistent activity against Triatoma infestans inside homes and in areas surrounding homes, in a highly infested region of the Bolivian Chaco. Não é a primeira vez que se tenta uma pintura inseticida contra triatomíneos. Ambas mostraram bom efeito residual em testes de campo e laboratório, mas não se viabilizaram comercialmente no Brasil e outros países endêmicos, por problemas também de formulação (em termos de estabilidade e viscosidade), não chegando ao emprego em larga escala.
