Impact of Chagas Disease in Bolivian Immigrants Living in Europe and the Risk of Stigmatization
Journal of Parasitology Research, Volume 2014, Issue 1, 2014., 2014 Background. The prevalence of Chagas disease in endemic countries varies with the kind of vector involved and the socioeconomic conditions of the population of origin. Due to recent immigration it is an emerging public health problem in Europe, especially in those countries which receive immigrant populations with a high prevalence of carriers.

Biologic and Genetics Aspects of Chagas Disease at Endemic Areas
Journal of Tropical Medicine, Volume 2012, Issue 1, 2012., 2012 The etiologic agent of Chagas Disease is the Trypanosoma cruzi, transmitted through blood‐sucking insect vectors of the Triatominae subfamily, representing one of the most serious public health concerns in Latin America. There are geographic variations in the prevalence of clinical forms and morbidity of Chagas disease, likely due to genetic variation ...

An Insight into the Sialomes of Bloodsucking Heteroptera
Psyche: A Journal of Entomology, Volume 2012, Issue 1, 2012., 2012 Saliva of bloodsucking arthropods contains dozens or hundreds of proteins that affect their hosts′ mechanisms against blood loss (hemostasis) and inflammation. Because acquisition of the hematophagous habit evolved independently in several arthropod orders and at least twice within the true bugs, there is a convergent evolutionary scenario that creates
