Abstract
This paper presents mathematical and numerical results for a cellular automaton model describing the transmission dynamics of Chagas disease in both homogeneous and heterogeneous environments. The basic reproduction number R 0 which integrates factors that determine whether the pathogen can establish or not will be computed using the next-generation matrix approach. The simulation results show the effect of landscape heterogeneity in the vector transmission.
