    Are maternal re‐infections with <i>Trypanosoma cruzi</i> associated with higher morbidity and mortality of congenital Chagas disease?
    (Wiley, 2006) Faustino Torrico; Cristina Alonso Vega; Eduardo Suárez; Tatiana Tellez; Laurent Brutus; Patricia Rodríguez; Mary‐Cruz Torrico; Dominique Schneider; Carine Truyens; Yves Carlier
    Frequent bites of blood sucking Reduvidae during pregnancy do not induce maternal anaemia, but, likely through multiple maternal re-infections with T. cruzi, increase maternal parasitemia and worsen congenital Chagas disease. Maternal dwelling in areas of high VD is associated with a serious increased risk of severe and mortal congenital Chagas disease.
