Number of T. cruzi-infected humans (N = 10) and triatomines by animal abundance. Top row: a). K increases linearly with animal abundance and 75 % of animals are viable T. cruzi hosts; b). K = 100 and 75 % of animals are viable hosts. Bottom row: c). K increases linearly with animal abundance and 1 % of animals are viable hosts. Simulated for 50 years and output from the final five years shown
