  abstract = {{A}n active {T}rypanosoma cruzi transmission cycle maintained by wild rodents in the {A}ndean valleys of {C}ochabamba {B}olivia is described. {W}ild and domestic {T}riatoma infestans with 60% infection with {T}. cruzi were found and was evidenced in 47.5% (rodents) and 26.7% (marsupial) by parasitological and/or serologycal methods. {P}hyllotis ocilae and the marsupial species {T}hylamys elegans, are the most important reservoirs followed by {B}olomys lactens and {A}kodon boliviensis. {I}n spite of both genotypes ({TCI} and {TCII}) being prevalent in {B}olivia, in our study area only {T}. cruzi {I} is being transmitted. {O}ur data suggest that wild {T}. infestans and wild small mammals play an important role in the maintenance of the transmission cycle of {T}. cruzi. {F}urthermore, the finding of high prevalence of {T}. cruzi infection in wild {T}. infestans point to the risk of the dispersion of {C}hagas' disease.},
