“…This allowed to precisely estimate a high incidence of new cases reaching 2.27% per year. Male dogs were also more infected than females, which is a somewhat unusual observation as sex differences in infection rates are usually not observed [11, 43, 44], and it is not clear if it reflects greater exposure to vectors and/or greater susceptibility to infection of male dogs.…”

“…El 60 % del territorio del estado Sucre está dominado por dos formaciones montañosas, el sistema Araya-Paria y el macizo del Turimiquire, cuyas elevaciones máximas alcanzan los 2.600 msnm. La vegetación en el estado incluye biomas del tipo de bosque tropical muy húmedo y del tipo montano bajo, así como bosques secos de tipo tropical, en tanto que en los bosques de las zonas altas se encuentran subpáramos arbustivos (21). El estado Sucre se divide en dos zonas geográficas, la del golfo de Cariaco, conformada por los municipios Montes, Sucre, Cruz Salmerón Acosta, Mejías, Ribero y Bolívar, y la del golfo de Paria, conformada por los municipios Benítez, Andrés Eloy Blanco, Libertador, Bermúdez, Valdez, Andrés Mata, Arismendi, Mariño y Cajigal.…”

“…In outbreaks, particularly in Argentina, where Chagas' disease is transmitted by T. infestans , dogs and cats represent domestic reservoirs of T. cruzi infection (Cardinal et al ., ). Levels of canine seroprevalence to T. cruzi are high in 15 countries and vary from 8 to 50% across various surveys, which are often conducted using different techniques (Barbabosa‐Pliego et al ., ; Berrizbeitia et al ., ; Chikweto et al ., ; Tenney et al ., ; Alroy et al ., ; Gürtler & Cardinal, ; Saldaña et al ., ). Dogs should be prevented from becoming infected by restraining their access to ecosystems that feature vector bugs.…”
