From the video's description: Chagas disease is transmitted via Triatomine insects and affects about 15 million people. Poor housing make an ideal place for these bugs to live in. In the night, they come out and feed on the blood of the people and domestic animals.
This video shows a few Triatoma infestans bugs in a jar.
Taken at the Centro de Pesquisas René Rachou-Fiocruz, Instituto Oswaldo Cruz. August 2010.
