--- The study aimed to assess the potential wild reservoirs of Trypanosoma sp. in four localities of the departments of Amazonas and Loreto, capturing and analyzing marsupials, rodents and bats in search of this protozoan. In addition, diversity and presence of Trypanosoma sp. wild hosts in Amazonas and Loreto department, endemic and non-endemic area of Chagas disease respectively. The study was conducted in two population centers Ron y Tres Marias in the province of Utcubamba, Amazonas department and Cahuide and Manacamiri villages in the province of Maynas, Loreto department. Rodents and marsupials were captured using Tomahawk and Sherman traps, and bats used mist nets. Captured animals were anesthetized for xenodiagnosis technique. Biodiversity indices using the Past program were determined; for the percentage analysis and Fisher Exact Test was used STATA software. 95 individuals corresponding to 16 species, Loreto showed greater species diversity and abundance were captured, however Amazonas showed greater abundance of individuals known reservoir of Trypanosoma sp. The 10, 68% (5/47) of the individuals were positive for Trypanosoma sp.: Didelphis marsupialis (2/3), Mus musculus (1/7) and Phyllostomus elongatus (2/4). The chiropteran Phyllostomus elongatus reported as a new reservoir of Trypanosoma sp. for Peru. Furthermore, Trypanosoma sp. strains were isolated. obtained in the studied wild reservoirs, according to the morphological characteristics that are compatible with Trypanosoma cruzi. Finally, news anesthetic protocols for bats and marsupials captured were obtained.
