The prevalence of Trypanosoma cruzi and the demography of dog populations after insecticidal spraying of houses: A predictive model

Mostrar todas las versiones(2)

A three-year demographic and seroparasitological follow-up of the canine population of a rural area of Argentina endemic for Chagas'disease was carried out in order to (a) describe the population dynamics of domestic dogs, and (b) predict the decrease in the prevalence of Trypanosoma cruzi amon...

The relevance of the model as an aid to designing strategies for the control of animal domestic reservoirs of T.cruzi, and the role of dogs as efficient sentinels of re-infestation of an area, are discussed.
