  abstract = {{C}ongenital transmission of {C}hagas disease stand out as a major public health problem since the vector control was performed in all endemic areas and has shown its effectiveness. {A}n epidemiological study was performed in three maternity hospitals of the city of {S}anta {C}ruz de la {S}ierra, {B}olivia from 2006 to 2008. {T}he serological screening for {T}rypanosoma cruzi infection was carried out in 15,767 pregnant women. {C}hagas infection was detected in 3725 women (23.6%), who gave birth to 125 newborns infected by {T}. cruzi at birth, representing an incidence of 790 per 100,000 births during a period of 16 months and a vertical transmission rate by 3.4%. {T}here was a significant difference between hospitals that might be explained by socio-economic origins of mothers and diagnostic constraints.},
