Natural infection by Trypanosoma cruzi in three species of non-human primates in southeast Mexico: A contribution to reservoir knowledge.

This study makes it clear that the risk of infection is present in the study area and that the different DTUs of the parasite can coexist in the same habitat, indicating that T. cruzi infection in the study area is very complex and involves many ecological factors. However; there is a need for long-term studies of host-parasite interactions to provide a solid understanding of the ecology of these species and to understand the dispersion strategies of T. cruzi.
