Model of triatomine host-microbiota-parasite interactions based on parasite immune modulation. a Triatomine homeostatic responses to blood meal ingestion that control the density of bacteria in the gut. b Immune responses induced by T. cruzi infection control parasite development, and decrease bacteria density; intense competition for nutrients between bacteria and the protozoan occurs in the gut. An overall increase in micobiota diversity concomitant to infection is observed
