Seroprevalence of T. cruzi infection in six and twelve year-old schoolchildren from three Uruguayan endemic departaments.

The last national survey on seroprevalence of T. cruzi human infection in Uruguay, showed a 3.4% in adults from endemic areas. Since 1983, antivectorial actions of the control program have been carried out continually. In consequence, household infestation by Triatoma infestan, the main vector of T....
