The study aimed to identify reservoirs of Trypanosoma cruzi in four locations in the Amazonas and Loreto region, capturing and analyzing marsupials, rodents and bats. The study was conducted in the province of Maynas, department of Amazonas (CP Tres Marias and Ron) and in the province of Utcubamba, department of Loreto (village Cahuide and Manacamiri). Rodents and marsupials were captured using Tomahawk and Sh0.2erman traps, and bats mist nets used; then the animals were anesthetized for Xenodiagnosis technique. 95 individuals corresponding to 16 species, Loreto showed higher rates of biodiversity; however Amazonas showed the highest prevalence of individuals known reservoir of T. cruzi were captured. Of the 47 individuals analyzed was obtained that 10, 68% (5/45) were positive for T. cruzi: Didelphis marsupialis, Mus musculus and Phyllostomus elongatus. It is reported as new reservoir for P. ellongatus in Peru. No significant difference between the studied was found.
