  abstract = {{T}riatoma infestans is the main vector of {C}hagas disease in the {S}outhern {C}one countries. {W}ild populations of {T}. infestans appear widespread throughout the {A}ndean valleys of {B}olivia. {I}n {C}otapachi (2750 m asl), all sorts of rocky outcrops, regardless of their size. provided good refuges for {T}. infestans. {O}f the 1120 ecotopes investigated, 330 (29.5%) contained triatomines and 92% of the collected insects were nymphal instars. {I}n the cold season, triatomine densities were similar in small and large outcrops. {D}uring the hot season. bug densities were higher in the larger outcrops, particularly in those located in peridomestic sites. {T}. infestans populations apparently produced one generation per year. {O}ver half the sampled bugs were positive for {T}. cruzi infection. {A}t {M}ataral (1750 m asl), a site located in the inter-{A}ndean {C}haco, a new morph of {T}. infestans was detected in a sylvatic environment.},
