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
