Ninety-eight blood meals were identified by heteroduplex assay and sequencing. Most of them were from wild mammals but surprisingly 27 were from humans. This brings to light the occurrence of human-vector contacts at risk of Trypanosoma cruzi transmission in the wild environment by highly infected insects. specialized Wild Triatoma infestans Human blood meals Bolivia BOLIVIE 052 19 141-144 2013 1567-1348 https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010061359 10.1016/j.meegid.2013.07.002 1567-1348 [F B010061359] https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010061359 https://www.documentation.ird.fr/intranet/publi/2014/01/010061359.pdf Accès réservé (Intranet de l'IRD) IRD - Base Horizon / Pleins textes 2014-02-05 2017-08-23 fdi:010061359 fre
