Chagas Disease, a Triatomine Bug-Transmitted Protozoan Infection

Chagas Disease, a Triatomine Bug-Transmitted Protozoan Infection

Chagas disease is a potentially fatal, chronic disease caused by Trypanosoma cruzi, a protozoan parasite. It causes 6 to 8 million cases and 50,000 deaths each year. Humans and animals usually become infected with T. cruzi via triatomine bugs, also called kissing or conenose bugs, found only in the...
