A Model For Control Of Chagas		Disease, Science
 









Summary: Chagas disease is a widespread, chronic,
and ultimately fatal disease of the rural poor in Latin America
that is (…) transmitted by blood-sucking triatomine bugs. It
has long been suggested that improving the quality of housing
could control this disease. Cohen and Gurtler (p. 694) have now
mathematically modeled the complex set of variables that
contribute to disease transmission within a household. They offer
simple recommendations for exclusion of pets and structural
improvement of sleeping areas that would virtually eliminate
Chagas disease in human beings.
