“…Therefore, it is possible that T. cruzi DNA could be recovered from the bones of intermediate hosts. T. cruzi DNA has been recovered from a variety of human tissues (Fernandes et al, 2008;Ferreira et al, 2000;Fornaciari et al, 1992;Guhl et al, 1997Guhl et al, , 1999Guhl et al, , 2000Rohland and Hofreiter, 2007;Rothhammer et al, 1985). It stands to reason that molecular methods that are successful with human tissues would be successful with rodent remains and insect remains.…”

“…Paleoparasitological data showed that the protozoan Trypanosoma cruzi infected South American populations by 9000 years ago, first recorded in Chile's Atacama desert (Aufderheide et al, 2004). Infection was also present among inhabitants of the Brazilian lowlands 7000 years ago (Fernandes et al, 2008;Lima et al, 2008), changing the paradigm that hypothesized an origin in the Bolivian highlands Ferreira et al, 2011).…”

“…Fernandes et al (2008) identifican la presencia del parásito mediante análisis molecular de la región miniexon, identificándose el subtipo TCI en una momia del Valle de Peruaçu en Minas Gerais, Brasil, que además presentaba evidencias de megacolon (560 ± 40 A.P.). Lima et al (2008), también consiguen identificar el subtipo TCI en una momia de 7000-4500 A.P.…”

“…Todos los trabajos descritos demuestran que la infección por este parásito tuvo lugar en diferentes regiones de Sudamérica y es mucho más antigua de lo tradicionalmente postulado (Fernandes et al 2008. Por otra parte, los hallazgos paleoparasitológicos indican que el ciclo biológico de la enfermedad, ya se encontraba hace miles de años establecido y ampliamente disperso por el continente americano.…”
