Do trypanosoma cruzi-infected Panstrongylus geniculatus and Rhodnius robustus adults invade households in the Tropics of Cochabamba region of Bolivia?
The results presented here highlight the risk of Chagas disease transmission in a region previously thought not to be endemic, indicating that the Tropics of Cochabamba should be placed under permanent entomological and epidemiological surveillance.
Modifiable risk factors explained about a third of the excess CHD mortality between manual workers and upper-level employees in men. Among women the differences between socio-economic groups were not statistically significant.
