Chagas Disease
This Chagas disease is primarily transmitted to humans through the bite of infected triatomine bugs, also known as "kissing bugs." These insects are commonly found in rural areas of Latin America, where they often inhabit poorly constructed homes and thatched roofs. Chagas disease can also be transmitted through blood transfusions, organ transplantation, congenital transmission from mother to baby, and consumption of food contaminated with the parasite. While many individuals infected with T. cruzi may remain asymptomatic for years, the disease can cause serious cardiac and gastrointestinal complications in the chronic stage, leading to heart failure, digestive issues, and even death if left untreated. Early detection and treatment are crucial for managing Chagas disease effectively.
