RésuméA seroprevalence survey of Trypanosoma cruzi was carried out in two areas of South Bolivia. Triatoma infestans, the main vector of Tryp. cruzi, was abundant in the first area, but absent in the second one. Titration of Tryp. cruzi antibodies was carried out in children aged 6-24 months and their mothers. The seroprevalence of Chagas' disease was significantly higher' infection in children in the area with the vector, but also high in the second area. Chagas under 2 years old could be [inked to congenital transmission of parasites during pregnancy and/or delivery, despite active vector control in both areas.
