Predictions of human prevalence from basic entomological data and the probability of T. cruzi transmission.

Observed prevalences are presented together with the distribution of predicted prevalence (as described by a 95% confidence intervals) and the probability for the observed prevalence to be within the predicted distribution (*indicates a statistical difference between observation and predictions at a 95% confidence level). Prevalence of infection was measured and predicted for individuals under 15 years. aa, under 30 years. bb, or between 8 and 13 years. ccof age.
