Using the next-generation matrix method, we analysed a model which considers the three stages of human infection, triatomines and dogs (the main domestic reservoirs of<jats:italic>T. cruzi<\/jats:italic>when triatomines are present) and the main transmission routes. We derived<jats:italic>R<\/jats:italic><jats:sub>0<\/jats:sub>and type-reproduction numbers<jats:italic>T.<\/jats:italic>We deduced formulas for the number of new infections generated through each transmission route by each infected individual. We applied our findings in Argentine Gran Chaco. The expressions achieved allowed quantifying the high infectivity of dogs and emphasizing the epidemiological importance of the long and asymptomatic chronic indeterminate stage in humans in the spread of the infection. According to the model, it is expected that one infected human infects 21 triatomines, that 100 infected triatomines are necessary to infect one human and 34 to infect a dog, and that each dog infects on average one triatomine per day. Our results may allow quantifying the effect of control measures on infected humans, triatomines and dogs (or other highly infected vertebrate) or on a specific route of transmission, in other scenarios.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1017\/s0031182016000548","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,4,4]],"date-time":"2016-04-04T10:19:39Z","timestamp":1459765179000},"page":"1168-1178","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1017\/policypage","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":14,"title":["Analysis of the transmission of<i>Trypanosoma cruzi<\/i>infection through hosts and vectors"],"prefix":"10.1017","volume":"143","author":[{"given":"MAR\u00cdA C.","family":"FABRIZIO","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"NICOL\u00c1S J.","family":"SCHWEIGMANN","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"NORBERTO J.","family":"BARTOLONI","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"56","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2016,4,4]]},"reference":[{"key":"S0031182016000548_ref7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/BF00178324"},{"key":"S0031182016000548_ref37","volume-title":"Chagas en el Siglo XXI.
