of chickens per household to zero, and the number of dogs per household to one.
Also, the Prevalence of
T. cruzi
among dogs was changed from 0.84 to 0.21 based
on the assumption that
T. cruzi
prevalence among dogs decreased through dog sur-
veillance programs.

The effects of reservoir controls are displayed Figure 6.9. The
Figure 6.9 indicates that the exclusion of chickens and dogs means that bugs are left
only to feed on humans; therefore, the infection of humans with
T. cruzi
increases.
The effectiveness of
T. cruzi
treatment varies according to age at which infec-
tion occurs and the stage of the infection. Early detection of congenitally infected
infants ensures a recovery rate of over 90%.

The effects of congenital surveillance
were tested by decreasing the CONGENITAL INFECTION RATE by 90%. This
