Predicted number of cases as function of light. The incidence, or number of new cases per person per year, was calculated based on the obtained VI, PIH, the proportion of infected insects [41], insect biting rate [51], feeding rate on humans [52] and probability of transmission per contact with an infected Triatomine [53]. For Chavinave, we estimate an incidence of 6.3 cases per 1000 people per year (see text for calculation). Using the current approximate population for Chavinave (122 people), the model predicts 1 new case every 18 months
