Table 1 Triatomine bug species in Bahia state, Brazil: “species relevance score” based on the approach of Abad-Franch [20]

^aThe most dangerous domestic vector of Trypanosoma cruzi
^bMerged because most records available do not distinguish the species within each pair; we note that (i) most, if not all, “T. brasiliensis” records from Bahia most likely refer to T. juazeirensis, and (ii) genetic similarity between T. lenti and T. bahiensis suggest they might be conspecific [17]
