Comparación de la infección por Trypanosoma cruzi en niños menores de 10 años de la V Región, Chile. 1982-1995
Evaluation of desinsectation programs carried out in the two Health Services from the V Region, was undertaken by comparing serologic prevalences of T. cruzi in age groups exposed to the risk of infection in rural areas during the antivectorial campaign activities. (1982 vs 1995). Thus, were studied...
