Chagas disease is a chronic, systemic, parasitic infection caused by the protozoan Trypanosoma cruzi, and was discovered in 1909. The disease affects about 8 million people in Latin America, of whom 30-40% either have or will develop cardiomyopathy, digestive megasyndromes, or both.

Chagas disease, which is caused by infection with the parasite Trypanosoma cruzi, is a leading neglected tropical disease in the United States. An estimated 240 000 to 350 000 persons in the United States are infected, primarily immigrants from Mexico, Central America, and South America, where the disease is endemic.

Chagas Disease: Chronic Chagas Cardiomyopathy
Current Problems in Cardiology, 2021Chagas disease (CD) is a tropical vector-borne infection caused by the protozoan parasite Trypanosoma cruzi (T. cruzi), also known as American Trypanosomiasis. It is considered endemic in all South and Central America and in this past decades its becoming a burden particularly in the United States and Europe due to human migration. The vast majority of

Chagas disease is an anthropozoonosis from the American continent that has spread from its original boundaries through migration. It is caused by the protozoan Trypanosoma cruzi, which was identified in the first decade of the 20th century. Once acute infection resolves, patients can develop chronic disease, which in up to 30-40% of cases is ...

Chagas disease, caused by the protozoan parasite, Trypanosoma cruzi, is a major source of morbidity and death in Latin America. Many infected immigrants from that region now reside in the United States, posing a risk of transfusion-associated transmission of the organism. Serologic testing is the cornerstone of diagnosing chronic T.

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 ...

Chagas disease persists as a global public health problem due to the high morbidity and mortality burden. Despite the possibility of a cure and advances in transmission control, epidemiological transformations, such as urbanisation and globalisation, and the emerging importance of oral and vertical transmission mean that Chagas disease should be ...
