一项对223只秘鲁和哥伦比亚灵长类动物血液寄生虫的调查显示，47只（21%）动物感染了锥虫。8例感染克氏锥虫或T. 42例寄生虫被鉴定为T.米纳斯。本文报道了T. minasense和T.克鲁兹Tamarinus菌株的T.克氏锥虫在培养物中生长良好，在长锥虫中发育，对小鼠具有毒性。T. sanmartini被认为是T.而不是一个独特的物种。一个假定的树栖T.讨论了Cruzi旋回。木霉菌株minasense在培养物中生长良好，未能感染锥虫，并且在小鼠中既不产生组织形式也不产生死亡。T. rangeli和T. minasense被认为是，并讨论了传输机制。感染T.克鲁兹经常从新大陆的热带地区进口到美国。这些进口菌株可能不代表一般的公共卫生问题，但实验室工作人员应警惕它们的可能存在。
A survey for blood parasites of 223 Peruvian and Colombian primates revealed trypanosome infections in 47 (21%) of the animals. Eight were infected with Trypanosoma cruzi or T. cruzi-like organisms; 42 with parasites identified as T. minasense. Seven new host records are noted for T. minasense, and one for T. cruzi. The Tamarinus strain of T. cruzi grew well in culture, developed in Triatoma protracta, and was virulent for mice. T. sanmartini is considered to be a strain of T. cruzi rather than a distinct species. A presumed arboreal T. cruzi cycle is discussed. Strains of T. minasense grew well in culture, failed to infect triatomid bugs, and produced neither tissue forms nor fatalities in mice. The synonymy of T. rangeli and T. minasense is considered, and mechanisms of transmission are discussed. Primates infected with T. cruzi are regularly imported into the United States from the New World tropics. These imported strains may not represent a general public health problem, but laboratory workers should be alert to their possible presence.
