A voluntary use of insecticide treated nets can stop the vector transmission of Chagas disease.

A voluntary use of insecticide treated nets can stop the vector transmission of Chagas disease.

One of the stated goals of the London Declaration on Neglected Tropical Diseases is the interruption of domiciliary transmissions of Chagas disease in the region of the Americas. We used a game-theoretic approach to assess the voluntary use of insecticide treated nets (ITNs) in the prevention of the...
