Abstract
⺠We identified the main sylvatic hosts of Trypanosoma cruzi in northeastern Argentina. ⺠Didelphis albiventris opossums and Dasypus novemcinctus armadillos were infected. ⺠Opossums were infected with T. cruzi I and armadillos with T. cruzi III. ⺠Panstrongylus geniculatus and Triatoma sordida were found in sylvatic habitats. ⺠Two independent sylvatic transmission cycles of T. cruzi occur in the humid Chaco.
