The protozoan parasite is the causative agent of the Chagas disease, which is endemic in southeastern Mexico and is transmitted by the vector (triatomide). infect a great variety of domestic and wild mammals; rodents are considered one of the most important reservoirs of the parasite in the transmission cycles of .
