Figure 2

Trypanosoma cruzi infection in 841 triatomine bugs caught inside or around houses of central Brazil, 2012–2014. Bars represent the observed proportions of bugs scored as positive with different methods, and circles show infection probabilities as estimated by the focal site-occupancy model. EPRS, entomological-parasitological routine surveillance; UnB, University of Brasília; cPCR rDNA-24Sα, conventional PCR on the 24Sα subunit of the nuclear ribosomal DNA; qPCR nDNA-sat, quantitative PCR on the nuclear satellite DNA; CI, confidence interval; arrowheads indicate instances in which no bug was tested by a given method (see Table 2).
