  abstract = {{T}he model developed for human parasites by {B}ottomley et al. (2007) [52] has been adapted to the dynamics of triatomines to better understand the processes of niche invasion, competition among species and coexistence. {I}n {B}olivia, both wild and domestic populations of {T}riatoma infestans exist. {T}heir ecological niches are normally separated and the two populations do not interbreed, behaving as two distinct species. {H}owever, it has been suggested that the two populations may compete, highlighting therefore the potential risk of wild populations invading human dwellings. {T}he model revealed the importance of the basic reproduction rates {R}-0 of triatomine colonies for the risk of invasion. {T}his depends not only on life traits such as survival and fecundity, but also on (1) the density-dependence phenomenon that limits triatomine establishment, (2) on house exposure to infection and (3) on the correlation between house susceptibility to domestic {T}. infestans and house susceptibility to wild {T}. infestans. {C}ompetition and coexistence amongst the two groups of {T}. infestans may occur under particular conditions, but are very unlikely.},
