“…Hypothetically, different strains could thus be transmitted with different efficacies if they had different capacities in manipulating (or at least affecting) their vector's behaviour. In the last few years, T. cruzi has indeed been shown to affect the dispersal of T. dimidiata (Nouvellet, Ramirez‐Sierra, Dumonteil, & Gourbière, ; Ramirez‐Sierra, Herrera‐Aguilar, Gourbière, & Dumonteil, ) and R. prolixus (Marlière et al., ).
