Introduction: Chagas disease remains a challenge in part due to the limited effectiveness of its treatment. In Arequipa, where household infestation with Triatoma infestans has been reduce, prevention of re-infestation remains a challenge, due to the of population. Understanding community motivations for involvement, often linked to the care of young children, is critical to enhancing effective vector surveillance. Objective: To evaluate whether the presence of children under the age of five in households in Arequipa is linked to reporting the presence of Triatomines between 2010 and 2018 Methods: Case-control study derived from the entomological surveillance program for T. infestans in Arequipa. The surveillance system receives reports from the population regarding the presence of Triatomines and responds by performing entomological inspections and residual insecticide spraying. Chi-square and Mann-Whitney-Wilcoxon tests were used for bivariate analysis between the reported presence of Triatomines and the presence of children under 5 years of age in the household. Multiple logistic regression was used adjusted per housing cluster associated with a report to establish the association controlling for covariates and confounders of interest. Results: Data from 314 homes were analyzed. Among homes that reported the presence of insect vectors, actual evidence of their presence during inspections was discovered in 39.5% of cases. Most of the homes that reported insects had children under 5 years of age (77.3%) and between 6 and 12 years of age (85.2%). Although the presence of children under 5 years of age did not have a statistically significant relationship with vector reporting (OR: 1.35 CI95%: 0.50 – 3.65), the presence of children between 6 and 12 years of age was positively associated with reporting the presence of insect vectors of Chagas disease in the dwellings (OR: 2.39 CI95%: 1.18 – 4.83). Finally, lack of time was main reason why villagers did not report the presence of Triatomines (48.2%). Conclusions: The presence of children unde 5 does not appear to be a factor that significantly increases participation in vector surveillance. There is a need to identify other motivators for households, as well as to conduct awareness campaigns to improve community participation in the detection and elimination of foci of infestation in Arequipa.
