The aims of this work is to develop an analytical procedure based on the Laser Vaporization electronic Nose techniques for diagnosis of infestation with triatomines, transmitters of Trypanososma cruzi, agent of the Chagas disease (ECH) found to be cost-effective, good sensitivity, acceptability and to improve the effectiveness, sustainability and coverage of control programs in scenarios of low density of vectors (interruption of transmission).
