Triatoma gerstaeckeri is an assassin bug in the genus Triatoma (kissing bugs). It is an important vector of Trypanosoma cruzi, the causative agent of Chagas disease.[1][2] The range of T. gerstaeckeri is from the south-western United States (New Mexico, Texas) to north-eastern Mexico.[3][4] T. gerstaeckeri goes through three stages during its paurometabolous life cycle: egg, nymphal instars and adult.[5]
