Surveillance of vector-borne pathogens under imperfect detection: lessons from Chagas disease risk (mis)measurement

Vector-borne pathogens threaten human health worldwide. Despite their critical role in disease prevention, routine surveillance systems often rely on low-complexity pathogen detection tests of uncertain accuracy. In Chagas disease surveillance, optical microscopy (OM) is routinely used for detecting...
