  abstract = {{T}riatoma infestans is the main vector of {C}hagas disease and target of control programmes in the {S}outhern {C}one countries. {S}o far {B}olivia is the only country where true {T}. infestans wild foci are documented. {T}he dispersal ability for wild {T}. infestans was studied at microgeographical scale in {B}olivian {A}ndes, to assess the possibility for wild populations to actively recolonize insecticide-treated villages. {N}ine microsatellite loci were used to detect the extent of gene flow between neighbouring collecting sites. {T}he detection of restricted gene flow between close but distinct sylvatic sites supports the hypothesis that wild {T}. infestans does not disperse by flying at high altitude (2 750 m asl). {I}t gradually disperses over small distances by walking within a 'patch' of continuous land cover. {T}he genetic differentiation detected between sylvatic and domestic populations suggests a limited short-term role of wild insects in the process of recolonization of insecticide-treated houses in the {A}ndes.},
