Public health importance. This species is a sylvatic species associated with armadillos ( Dasypodidae ) ( Dias-Lima et al. 2003), but it is increasingly likely to invade and colonize in peridomiciliar and domiciliar habitats, usually with high infection rates for T. cruzi ( Garcia et al. 2005) . It can feed on birds, rodents, opossum, armadillo, horse, cats and humans ( Caranha et al. 2006).
