Vampire bats in Belize harbor multiple <i>Trypanosoma cruzi</i> genotypes: implications for parasite transmission at the wildlife–domestic–human interface

2025-12-11

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> Chagas disease, caused by Trypanosoma cruzi , is a neglected tropical disease with complex sylvatic and domestic transmission cycles involving vectors, mammalian hosts, and humans. The common vampire bat ( Desmodus rotundus ) is an obligate blood-feeding species that frequently interacts with livestock and humans, yet their role in parasite maintenance in Central America remains poorly chara...
