  abstract = {{J}amach'uma ({C}ochabamba, {B}olivia) is a small village surrounded by sylvatic foci of {T}riatoma infestans. {H}ouses in the village were also infested with {T}. infestans, and were sprayed in {D}ecember 1992 as part of a {C}hagas disease vector control trial. {T}en months later the houses were found to be again infested with a few fifth instar nymphs of {T}. infestans. {T}hese nymphs were compared by seven head measurements with 36 fifth instar nymphs collected from houses in {J}amach'uma before treatment, and with two sets of nymphs originating from the surrounding sylvatic foci: eight specimens collected in 1992 and nine specimens collected in 1995. {T}he results are discussed in relation to the possible mechanisms of the apparent reinfestation: recrudescence of a residual domestic population or reinvasion of the houses from surrounding sylvatic foci. {Q}uantitative comparisons support the former hypothesis.},
