<p><a href="http://www.plosntds.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pntd.0001468#pntd-0001468-g001" target="_blank">Figure 1</a> displays the scheme used to stratify households into 4 targeted strategies to screen household members for human <i>T. cruzi</i> infection. The stratification was based on Ministry of Health (MOH) entomologic data from recent spray campaigns and laboratory analysis in the city of Arequipa, Peru. <sup>1</sup> Although 81 households had <i>T.cruzi</i>-infected <i>T.infestans</i> at the time of spray, 1 household was no longer inhabited at the time of this study, and 2 refused to participate.</p
Comparison of targeted strategies to detect <i>T. cruzi</i>-infected individuals in 18 periurban communities, Arequipa, Peru.
1<p>Originally 81 houses had <i>T.cruzi</i>-infected triatomines, however 1 house was no longer inhabited at the time of this study.</p>2<p>27 additional households within 15 meters of an index human infection had already been approached under the previous strategies.</p>3<p>Number of participating households out of total households invited to participate.</p>4<p>Percent of household members participating of total household members >1 year old.</p
Univariate Poisson regressions<sup>1</sup> on <i>T. cruzi</i> infection among targeted screening participants in Arequipa, Peru.
1<p>Poisson regressions included a random effect term to control for correlation among participants from the same household.</p>2<p>Univariate analysis of education includes only adults (age 18 or over).</p>3<p>The lifetime total number of places in which each participant had lived was tabulated from the migration histories, as were each participants' total number of years lived in a rural, periurban or urban location, and in a location recalled as being infested with <i>T. infestans</i>.</p
