Abstract
An adult female Triatoma sanguisuga was found to be naturally infected with Trypanosoma cruzi. This is the first report of a T. cruzi infection in this bug in Florida and suggests that a study of trypanosomiasis in reservoirs and vectors in north Florida is warranted.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
