“…Indeed, the early evolution of this clade may have been associated with the dominant marsupial fauna of the region. The opossum, Didelphis sp., a not so distant relative of the Australian kangaroos (Flannery 1989), is a particularly important natural reservoir of T. cruzi in South America and can maintain a patent parasitaemia throughout its life, with no apparent clinical symptoms (Deane et al 1986). The only trypanosomes from this clade found in the Old World are those infecting bats.…”

“…Accordingly, the kinetoplastid protozoan of the genus Trypanosoma emerged by the epoch when the insect vector developed hematophagy and transmitted T. cruzi infection to marsupials (456). The mammal hosts that eliminated the parasite in urine and anal gland secretions then contaminated other wild mammals (99). American trypanosomiasis was set in motion in the ecosystem, where there is a sympatry of triatomine vectors and mammal reservoirs of T. cruzi infections.…”

“…The contents of the anal glands were obtained by manual compression (Deane et al 1986), and diluted in saline to make both fresh preparations and Giemsa-stained thin films.…”
