描述了科恰班巴玻利维亚安第斯山谷野生啮齿动物维持的一个活跃的克氏锥虫传播周期。野生和家养的致病锥虫感染率均为60%。用寄生虫学和（或）血清学方法，在47.5%（啮齿类）和26.7%（有袋类）的动物中发现了克氏虫。Phyllotis ocilae和有袋动物Thylamys elegans是最重要的水库，其次是Bolomys lactens和Akodon boliviensis。尽管两种基因型（TCI和TCII）在玻利维亚都很流行，但在我们的研究地区，只有T.克鲁兹一号正在被传送我们的数据表明，野生T. infestans和野生小型哺乳动物在维持T.克鲁兹此外，T.野生T. infestans指出了南美锥虫病传播的风险。(c)2006年爱思唯尔公司All rights reserved.
An active Trypanosoma cruzi transmission cycle maintained by wild rodents in the Andean valleys of Cochabamba Bolivia is described. Wild and domestic Triatoma infestans with 60% infection with T. cruzi were found and was evidenced in 47.5% (rodents) and 26.7% (marsupial) by parasitological and/or serologycal methods. Phyllotis ocilae and the marsupial species Thylamys elegans, are the most important reservoirs followed by Bolomys lactens and Akodon boliviensis. In spite of both genotypes (TCI and TCII) being prevalent in Bolivia, in our study area only T. cruzi I is being transmitted. Our data suggest that wild T. infestans and wild small mammals play an important role in the maintenance of the transmission cycle of T. cruzi. Furthermore, the finding of high prevalence of T. cruzi infection in wild T. infestans point to the risk of the dispersion of Chagas' disease. (c) 2006 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
