  abstract = {{W}ild populations of {T}riatoma infestans, the main vector of {C}hagas disease in the {S}outhern {C}one countries, may be involved in reinfestation of human dwellings, limiting the success of vector-control campaigns in {B}olivia. {K}nowledge of the distribution of these populations remains incomplete. {W}e report here the detection of {T} infestans wild populations in large areas in the department of {L}a {P}az, {B}olivia. {A}mong 18 sylvatic areas investigated, 17 were positive with {T} infestans specimens. {T}he infection rate of captured {T} infestans with {T}rypanosoma cruzi was 85.7% in adult specimens. {T}hese results expand the geographical distribution of wild populations of {T}. infestans; it may be distributed throughout the {I}nter-{A}ndean {D}ry {F}orest eco-region of {B}olivia. {T}he current information allows us to propose the hypothesis that a sylvatic origin of the reinfestation is located in the valleys of {L}a {P}az.},
