Infectious Disease Clinics of North America, 1994
Chagas' disease is one of the most important public health problems in South America and Mexico. Migrations from rural areas into urban zones have contributed to the spread of the disease. The main targets of the disease within the body are the heart, the alimentary tract, and the nervous system.

Carlos Chagas and Chagas' Disease
The American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 1977Few medical eponyms deserve perpetuation. Their origin often is obscure, their validity dubious, and the honor (if it be an honor) frequently undeserved. Not so for Chagas' disease. The reason American trypanosomiasis is better known throughout the world by its eponym is recorded in these words of Miguel Couto (who was described as the best Brazilian ...

Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine, 1976
Two different histological types of congenital Chagas disease are defined. In one type, parasites were seen within the skeletal and cardiac fibers, and in the other, they are found mostly within the cells of the reticuloendothelial system. The latter was often associated with parasitized giant-cells with a single, lobulated, hyperchromatic nucleus.

Parasitology Today, 1988
Mexico - the northernmost country of Latin America - has long been thought to have an unusually low prevalence of Chagas disease compared with other Latin American countries. This has seemed unusual because of the large number of vector species and subspecies reported from the country, and the social and ecological conditions that seem to parallel ...
