ABSTRACT
Chagas disease is a serious problem of parasitic disease in the American continent, this zoonosis is caused by the flagellated protozoan known as Trypanosoma cruzi and transmitted through trypomastigotes present in the blood of sick hosts or in the faeces of the triatomines. Metacyclic trypomastigotes were detected in the faeca material of Triatoma pallidepennis maintained in the laboratory after the xenodiagnosis study performed on a patient with suspected Chagas disease, which allowed to administer treatment in a timely manner in the acute phase of this disease.
