we may conclude that annual insecticide use is the strongest measure of control that
can be used to combat the transmission of Chagas disease in endemic areas.
6.2 Questions and Tasks
1. If triatomine bugs develop resistance to insecticide, how would the transmission
of Chagas disease be affected?
2. Modify the model above to make different age cohorts of humans be affected by
Chagas disease in different ways. For example, distinguish differences in recov-
ery and mortality rates. What are the implications for transmission?
