Triatoma dimidiata capilata were abundant in houses of the village San Joaquin (Dept. Santander), Colombia. Five of these triatomids presented salivary gland infestation with Trypanosoma rangeli . Two showed hemofymph infection and 8 showed intestinal infection with crithidiae of T. rangeli . Mice bitten by naturally infected triatomids became infected with T. rangeli . The flagellates were easy to cultivate in diphasic blood agar media, and able to produce salivary gland infection in Rhodnius prolixtus .
