Unraveling Chagas disease transmission through the oral route: Gateways to Trypanosoma cruzi infection and target tissues.
Oral transmission of Trypanosoma cruzi, the causative agent of Chagas disease, is the most important route of infection in Brazilian Amazon and Venezuela. Other South American countries have also reported outbreaks associated with food consumption. A recent study showed the importance of parasite co...
