“…and Rhodnius sp. 38,39 An unexpected result was the absence of a stage-related increase in the prevalence of infection (produced by cumulative exposure) in white-eared opossums that did not fit a nonreversible catalytic model, in contrast to previous studies of opossums and dogs. 19,28 The decrease in infections recorded in adult opossums may not be explained by an age-related decrease in infectiousness because we also used a more sensitive detection method (kDNA-PCR).…”

“…An extensive xenodiagnosis survey of four species of armadillos also gave negative results for T. cruzi in three provinces in northeastern Argentina (Martínez et al, 1983), unlike hemoculture surveys in the Paraguayan Chaco (Yeo et al, 2005). Interestingly, high infection prevalences in Didelphis opossums (36%) were also recorded in the neighboring Chaco province between 1999 and 2002 (Diosque et al, 2004), and were as high as 52% elsewhere in the Americas (Grisard et al, 2000;Telford and Tonn, 1982;Travi et al, 1994).…”
