Chagas disease, a zoonosis caused by the
hemoflagellate protozoan Trypanosoma cruzi, remains a serious health problem in many Latin American countries, where it is an endemic disease that affects approximately 10 million people (Rassi et al.
This parasitic disease is caused by Trypanosoma cruzi (family, Trypanosomatidae and order, Kinetoplastida), a
hemoflagellate protozoa [3], which can be found on several strains with different mechanisms of pathogenesis, immunogenicity, treatment response, and epidemiology [4].
Chagas disease or American trypanosomiasis is caused by the
hemoflagellate protozoan Trypanosoma cruzi Chagas, which was identified by the Brazilian physician Carlos R.
African Trypanosomiasis (sleeping sickness) is caused by Trypanosoma brucei, a
hemoflagellate protozoan parasite, transmitted to human by an insect vector Tsetse fly (Glossina spp) found in some parts of rural Africa.
Chronic chagasic cardiopathy (CCC) occurs after a long period without symptoms (called "indeterminate form"), following an infection by the
hemoflagellate protozoan Trypanosoma cruzi, transmitted by the Triatominae subfamily of insects.
