Solution(By Examveda Team)

Chagas disease is transmitted by Triatoma sp and Rhodnius prolixus.
Chagas disease is named after the Brazilian physician Carlos Chagas, who discovered the disease in 1909. It is caused by the parasite Trypanosoma cruzi, which is transmitted to animals and people by insect vectors.
Triatoma dimidiata and Rhodnius prolixus are major vectors of Chagas disease in Central and South America, these vectors were more attracted by heat or CO₂ alone than by selected chemicals.
