“…Este valor alerta sobre la necesidad de continuar con los controles serológicos durante el embarazo, y la detección y tratamiento precoz de los recién nacidos infectados. En relación con las variables socioambientales, el alto porcentaje de encuestados que reconoció al insecto vector podría deberse tanto al contacto habitual con los triatominos como la influencia de las actividades de capacitación en la región, que contribuyen a aumentar los conocimientos básicos sobre la ECh15 . Todas las variables evaluadas, a excepción del sexo, mostraron asociación con la ECh.…”

Introducción. La Enfermedad de Chagas (ECh) es endémica en la Región del Chaco. Se desconoce su seroprevalencia en mayores de 14 años de áreas rurales del Chaco Santafesino. El objetivo del trabajo fue determinar la seroprevalencia de ECh en mayores de 14 años de áreas rurales del Chaco Santafesino, Argentina, y su asociación con factores de riesgo epidemiológico. Métodos. Se realizó un estudio transversal entre 2010 y 2015, en personas mayores de 14 años, los distritos rurales de la región del Chaco, en el Norte de la Provincia de Santa Fe, Argentina. Se determinó la prevalencia de anticuerpos contra Trypanosoma cruzi mediante dos pruebas serológicas, realizando una tercera en caso de discordancia. Se realizaron encuestas semiestructuradas sobre variables socioambientales. Se analizó la asociación entre ECh y variables socioambientales mediante la razón de prevalencias con un intervalo de confianza del 95%. Resultados. Se estudió una muestra de 749 personas, con una media de edad de 29,5 años. La seroprevalencia fue de 24,70% (26,69% en mujeres y 20,26% en hombres). Se halló asociación estadísticamente significativa entre las variables socioambientales y la seroprevalencia. La seroprevalencia fue 7,83 veces mayor en los hijos de madres que no habían alcanzado la educación secundaria. Conclusiones. La región del Chaco Santafesino es endémica para Chagas, al igual que otras provincias de la Región. El bajo nivel de instrucción materno es el condicionante más importante para esta endemia.

“…As compared to LF elimination however, CD elimination used dialogic approaches more often. As indicated in the simplified table of results ( Table 2 ), several of the same top-down communication strategies were used for CD as for LF, including: health education strategies (n = 7, 28%) [ 77 , 84 , 86 , 88 , 89 , 94 , 96 ], message design and dissemination (n = 3, 12%) [ 82 , 87 , 91 ], and distribution of communication materials (n = 8, 32%) [ 78 , 82 , 84 , 92 , 95 , 96 , 98 , 99 ]. Unlike for LF, top-down communication activities for CD also used workshops and meetings as a very common strategy (n = 10, 40%) [ 75 , 76 , 79 , 82 , 83 , 85 , 89 , 92 , 94 , 100 ].…”

“…Six studies targeted the individual level of change (n = 6, 24%). These interventions were directed towards increasing individual knowledge (n = 5, 20%) [80,[93][94][95][96] or describing perceptions of risk (n = 1, 4%) [97]. Two studies (8%) sought change at the level of enabling environments.…”

Background Although the practice of communication is often called upon when intervening and involving communities affected by NTDs, the disciplinary framework of health communication research has been largely absent from NTD strategies. To illustrate how practices conceptualized and developed within the communication field have been applied in the context of NTD elimination, we conducted a scoping review focusing on two diseases currently targeted for elimination by the WHO: lymphatic filariasis and Chagas disease. Methods We examined studies published between 2012 and 2020 in five electronic databases. Selected articles were required to (i) have explicit references to communication in either the abstract, title, or key words; (ii) further elaborate on the search terms (communication, message, media, participation and health education) in the body of the article; and (iii) sufficiently describe communication actions associated to those terms. Using the C-Change Socio-Ecological Model for Social and Behavior Change Communication as a reference, the articles were analysed to identify communication activities, theoretical frameworks, and/or rationales involved in their design, as well as their intended level of influence (individual, interpersonal, community, or enabling environment). Results and implications A total of 43 articles were analysed. Most interventions conceptualized communication as a set of support tools or supplemental activities delivering information and amplifying pre-defined messages aimed at increasing knowledge, encouraging community involvement, promoting individual behavior change, or securing some degree of acceptability of proposed strategies. Although important attempts at further exploring communication capabilities were identified, particularly in participation-based strategies, for most studies, communication consisted of an underdeveloped and under-theorized approach. We contend that a more complex understanding of the capacities offered by the health communication field could help attain the biomedical and social justice goals proposed in NTD elimination strategies. Three ways in which the field of health communication could further enhance NTD efforts are presented: informing interventions with theory-based frameworks, exploring the political complexity of community participation in specific contexts, and identifying conceptualizations of culture implied in interventions’ design. Conclusion This article is a call to action to consider the resources offered by the health communication field when researching, designing, or implementing NTD interventions.

“…Promoting healthier housing practices can create a sustainable solution for triatomine prevention, reducing exposure to Chagas disease in urban areas. To adequately protect the community from this disease, it is necessary to effectively communicate the risk and propose feasible preventive measures, particularly in the control of triatomine vectors (Genero et al 2018). This vector control requires joint measures such as: national spraying programs in homes, home improvement by reducing the potential sites for the establishment of these insects, and finally and essentially, community participation in the prevention and control of vector-borne diseases (Herdiana et al 2018).…”

The present study provided evidence of pigeon nesting sites as a major risk factor for the infestation of triatomines in urban areas. The study has also identified several factors that decrease the risk of infestation, such as frequency of cleaning the nests and fumigation in houses. We show that people that routinely disinfected their homes and kept houses clean of nests had considerably lower probability of finding vinchucas (Triatoma infestans) within their homes. These risk factors shoulde be taken into account to develop simple interventions aimed at reducing triatomine infestation in urban areas, thereby decreasing the incidence of Chagas disease.
