%X in response to complaints of triatomines on islands of the alto paran¨˘ river, an investigation to determine the presence of triatomines was conducted in 145 artificial ecotopes and 4 (2.8%) were infested, comprising a residence, a sports and leisure club, a former school and a woodpile. of the 35 p. megistus collected, 17 were analyzed and 12 (70.6%) were found to be infected with trypanosoma cruzi. birds and rodents were the most common food sources. all serologic examinations (56 human, 18 dogs and 10 cats) were negative.
