dc.description.abstract | Chagas' disease exists in rural and suburban areas of the nine northern provinces of Chile. Those areas have a population of 1,800,000 and it is estimated that 15 percent of them, i.e., 270,000 persons, are infected by Trypanosoma cruzi. The most important vector is the Triatoma infestans, a primarily domestic species. It was found to be infected in 33 percent of the cases. The animal carriers of greatest importance are the dog and cat, among domestic animals, and a rat species and two species of male foxes, among the wild animals | en_US |
dc.description.abstract | Research must be continued in order to better determine the morbidity and mortality rates of the infection from Trypanosoma cruzi(AU) | en_US |
