Evidence of congenital transmission of #Trypanosoma cruzi$ in a vector-free area of Bolivia Brutus Laurent auteur aut IRD Schneider Dominique auteur aut IRD Postigo Jorge auteur aut IRD Delgado W. auteur aut IRD Mollinedo S. auteur aut IRD Chippaux Jean-Philippe auteur aut IRD text journalArticle eng text/pdf born digital access A 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. specialized Chagas' disease Trypanosoma cruzi congenital transmission Seroprevalence attitude Bolivia 052 Transactions of the Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene 101 11 1159-1160 2007 0035-9203 https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010040858 10.1016/j.trstmh.2007.03.015 0035-9203 [F B010040858] https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010040858 https://www.documentation.ird.fr/intranet/publi/2007/12/010040858.pdf Accès réservé (Intranet de l'IRD) IRD - Base Horizon / Pleins textes 2007-12-21 2017-08-23 fdi:010040858 fre
