The educational video 'Triatomines: the link of a disease', produced by the Image Treatment Sector of the Oswaldo Cruz Institute (IOC/Fiocruz), in collaboration with Brazilian and foreign researchers and international health agencies, presents unprecedented and exclusive scenes, which bring images of reproduction, laying and hatching of eggs and the transition of evolutionary phases of the kissing bug, vector of Chagas disease.
The audiovisual production constitutes valuable material on the history, taxonomy and distribution of Chagas disease vectors in the world. In place of the traditional illustrative schemes of the insect's evolutionary cycle, the film innovated, capturing in real images the exact moment of the transformations that the kissing bug goes through in its life stages. A three-dimensional virtual model is also used, helping to understand the structure of the insect.
