Endemic in 149 tropical and subtropical countries, neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) affect more than 1 billion people annually with over 500,000 deaths. Among the NTDs, some of the most severe consist of leishmaniasis, Chagas disease, and dengue.

Chagas Disease: Chronic Chagas Cardiomyopathy.
Current Problems in Cardiology, 2019Chagas 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 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.

American trypanosomiasis (Chagas disease) in solid organ transplantation
Transplant Infectious Disease, 2020This review addresses relevant aspects of Chagas disease in the solid organ transplantation setting. This trypanosomiasis was geographically restricted to America, but migration has turned Chagas disease into a global public health concern.

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 ...

Chagas disease as example of a reemerging parasite.
Seminars in diagnostic pathology, 2019Trypanosoma cruzi, the protozoan that causes Chagas disease, is primarily transmitted by three main Triatomine vectors in endemic areas. However, the infection has become a potential emerging disease because the vector is found in non-endemic areas ...

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.

Congenital Chagas Disease [PDF]
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.
