Kurzfassung:
This data evaluated the susceptibility of T. infestans to seven different strains of T. cruzi from chagasic patients of the Triângulo Mineiro, isolated and adapted in Swiss mice. A total of 200 bugs were fed in mice in acute phase injected with the different strains of T. cruzi and at each 30 days, during 5 months, their feces were obtained by abdominal compression or spontaneous dejection. The overall positivity of T. infestans infection with these different strains of T. cruzi was 62.08%. There was a high mortality rate (60%) during the examination period. We conclude that T. infestans has a low susceptibility to these strains. This could explain the low rate of positivity in the xenodiagnosis in chagasic chronic patients of the Triângulo Mineiro.
