Prevalence of Trypanosoma cruzi infection in blood banks of seven departments of Bolivia

Prevalence of Trypanosoma cruzi infection in blood banks of seven departments of Bolivia

Trypanosoma cruzi infection was studied in 1,298 sera samples of blood banks from 7 capital departments of Bolivia, using the immunofluorescence test (IFI) and Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay (Elisa). The percentages of positivity in these 7 departments have an average of 28% and are distributed a...
