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 R0 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.
