近年来，发展中国家恢复了控制寄生虫病的大规模方案。1997年，哥伦比亚、委内瑞拉、厄瓜多尔和秘鲁等国政府承诺推广在南锥体取得的成本效益高的消灭克氏锥虫传播的成果，即对国内锥虫病媒使用杀虫剂（结合血库筛查）。中美洲各国政府发起了一项补充倡议。所有国家都计划到2010年在整个区域阻断病媒传播，但具体目标由国家决定。在这篇文章中，我们强调了哥伦比亚政府为确定恰加斯病风险的地理分布而采取的新方法，以选择首先进行干预的地方。
In recent years, there has been a revitalization of large-scale programmes to control parasitic disease in developing countries. In 1997, the Governments of Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador and Peru committed themselves to replicate the cost-effective elimination of Trypanosoma cruzi transmission achieved in the Southern Cone by using insecticides against the domestic triatomine vectors (in combination with blood-bank screening). Central American Governments launched a complementary initiative. All plan to interrupt vectorial transmission throughout the region by 2010 but specific targets are decided nationally. In this article, we highlight the novel approach taken by the Colombian Government for determining the geographic distribution of Chagas disease risk to select where to intervene first.
