  abstract = {{P}urpose {T}he aim of this study was to identify the risk factors associated with house infestation by {T}riatomadimidiata as well as with {T}rypanosomacruzi infection in humans and owned dogs in two rural communities from the municipality of {C}atemaco, {V}eracruz, {M}exico. {M}ethods {O}ne hundred and 16 human blood samples and 34 dog blood samples were collected. {T}he presence of anti-{T}. cruzi antibodies was determined using four different {ELISA} assays. {M}oreover, reactive {ELISA} sera from humans and dogs were processed by indirect immunofluorescence ({IFI}) to confirm the presence of anti-{T}. cruzi antibodies. {R}esults {S}erologic tests for {T}. cruzi infection showed a prevalence of 5.1% (6/116) in humans and of 50% (17/34) in owned dogs. {C}onclusion {T}he presence of animals (dogs, chickens and wild animals), as well as some characteristics of house construction were identified as risk factors for infestation and infection. {C}omplementary studies must be carried out to allow a better understanding of the transmission dynamics in the state of {V}eracruz, {M}exico, and the implementation of adequate control programs.},
