裂锥虫属在 118 种蝙蝠的 19,885 只蝙蝠中，有 4.68% 发现了这种物质。采集自哥伦比亚 658 个地区。在小鼠保护测试中使用的 573 个血培养物中，部分与异种诊断相结合，233 个分离株被鉴定为 T. c.。克鲁兹，25 岁，饰演 T. c. marinkellei 和 315 作为裂锥虫 sp。索引。在常见的蝙蝠种类中，裂锥虫感染率最高。发现于Noctilio labialis (50.0%)、Artibeus lituratus (48.8%) 和Phyllosttomus hasstatus (39.3%)。五个 T.c.从蝙蝠中分离出来的 cruzi 在小鼠体内传代 10-15 次或在组织培养物中传代后，对小鼠产生高毒力。住所内或住所周围的蝙蝠很少被感染（例如，Molossus spp.，1.2%；Myotis spp.，1.3%；Carollia perspicillata 1.8%），在洞穴中形成大群落的蝙蝠也是如此（例如，Mormoops、Natalus 属和 7532 只蝙蝠中的 0.04%）。翼龙）。大西洋沿岸或海拔>2200米的地区蝙蝠没有被感染。哥伦比亚南部的原始热带雨林中患病率最高，其中 90.9% 的 P. hastatus 和 49.8% 的 A. lituratus 都含有裂锥虫。蝙蝠的摄食偏好与其锥虫感染率之间没有发现任何相关性，也没有发现家庭内受感染的长尾红线虫的发生率与栖息在人类住宅中的蝙蝠的感染率之间存在相关性。尽管在田间条件下经常发生污染，但培养后进行小鼠保护试验被认为是检测 T. c. 的最佳方法。当没有更先进的生化研究设施时，蝙蝠体内就有克鲁兹病毒。蝙蝠的感染频率表明，不应忽视它们作为 T. c. 的可能宿主。克鲁兹。
Schizotrypanum spp. were found in 4.68% of 19,885 bats of 118 spp. collected from 658 localities in Colombia. Among 573 blood cultures used in mouse protection tests, partially in combination with xenodiagnosis, 233 isolates were identified as T. c. cruzi, 25 as T. c. marinkellei and 315 as Schizotrypanum sp. indet. Among the common species of bats, the highest infection with Schizotrypanum spp. was found in Noctilio labialis (50.0%), Artibeus lituratus (48.8%) and Phyllostomus hastatus (39.3%). Five T. c. cruzi isolates from bats became highly virulent to mice after 10-15 passages through mice or after passages through tissue cultures. Intra- or peri-domiciliary bats were infrequently infected (e.g., Molossus spp., 1.2%; Myotis spp., 1.3%; Carollia perspicillata 1.8%), as were bats that form large colonies in caves (e.g., 0.04% of 7532 bats of the genera Mormoops, Natalus and Pteronotus). Bats were not infected in the areas along the Atlantic coast or > 2200 m altitude. The highest prevalence was found in the virgin tropical rainforest of southern Colombia, where 90.9% of P. hastatus and 49.8% of A. lituratus harbored Schizotrypanum. No correlation was found between feeding preferences of bats and their infection rates with trypanosomes, nor between the occurrence of infected intradomiciliary Rhodnius prolixus and infection rates of bats roosting in human dwellings. In spite of frequent contamination under field conditions, cultivation followed by mouse protection tests is considered the best method for the dection of T. c. cruzi in bats, when more sophisticated biochemical study facilities are not readily available. The frequency of infection in bats indicates that they should not be neglected as a possible reservoir for T. c. cruzi.
