Chagas disease is a neglected tropical disease cause by the Trypanosoma cruzi parasite. It is spread mostly by insects known as Triatominae, or kissing bugs.
If left untreated, Chagas can cause serious problems to the heart and digestive system.
Chagas is a parasitic disease that affects over 6 million people in the
world. As the disease typically remains asymptomatic for years, new cases
often go unnoticed and unreported, and most people with the disease
are unaware of their condition. Less than 10% of people affected are
diagnosed and
