The results of entomologic surveillance conducted after Chagas' disease control in Mambai, Goias, Brazil are reported for the years 1985-1988, including a summary of results from 1980 to 1988. A progressive decrease in the incidence of Triatoma infestans in houses reached zero in 1988. The threat of secondary vector colonization and the continued need for vigilance are discussed.
