abstract: It is hypothesized that Asian monkeys were the original hosts of Trypanosoma conorhini because they have been found naturally infected, the vector among rats is a tropicopolitan triatomine bug that belongs to a complex of Asian species, and primates were shown to be more susceptible than rats.
