After three dogs died from acute Chagas cardiomyopathy
at one location, an investigation was conducted of the home,
garage, and grounds of the owner. A serologic study was conducted
on stray dogs, and an ecologic niche model was developed
to predict areas where the vector Triatoma gerstaeckeri
might be expected.
