  abstract = {<p><strong>INTRODUCTION: </strong>Chagas disease is considered one of the 17 most neglected tropical diseases in the World, with the most common form of vector transmission.</p>

<p><strong>METHODS: </strong>This structured cross-sectional study was conducted through an epidemiological survey in the Tobias Barreto municipality of Sergipe.</p>

<p><strong>RESULTS: </strong>Of the 255 participants, 1 (0.4%) participant was positive for human Chagas disease. Approximately 30.2% of the participants found the triatomine bugs in their houses and outbuildings.</p>
