🤰 Prevention starts before pregnancy
Trypanocidal treatment before pregnancy can eliminate the risk of vertical transmission.
This represents a key opportunity for intervention.

👶 Congenital Chagas matters
Early detection is key.
• Treatment during pregnancy ❌
• Early infant treatment → cure rates >90%

Chagas disease affects ~10.5 million people globally and is endemic in 21 Latin American countries.
📉 Good news: prevalence has decreased in endemic regions thanks to control efforts.

An image of intracellular parasites that have been labelled so they are visible.
Because in diseases like Chagas, leaving even a single parasite behind isn’t an option.
At DDU, we developed a washout assay to determine if compounds can achieve complete parasite clearance.

Chagas disease affects millions and often goes unnoticed for years. Known as a silent disease, it can lead to serious complications if untreated.
Awareness is key let’s spread knowledge and support those affected.

If untreated, #ChagasDisease can be passed from mother to child during pregnancy—but many women don't know they carry it.
Through SAFEStart+, @unitaid.bsky.social & PATH are integrating services so pregnant women can be screened for multiple infections in a single clinic visit.
#WorldChagasDay
#ChagasDisease is found mainly in endemic areas of 21 continental Latin American countries, spread by triatomine bugs.
Globally, it’s most frequently transmitted during pregnancy or childbirth, but can be prevented with earlier treatment.

One conversation. One shared goal. From a conference in Bolivia to a global collaboration, teams at DDU, the University of Washington, and DNDi are working together to develop new treatments for Chagas disease.
By bringing together expertise from DDU, @uofwa.uw.edu, & @dndi.org, we’re working to turn scientific potential into real progress against #ChagasDisease.
Tackling #neglecteddiseases takes more than innovation—it takes #collaboration.

World Chagas Disease Day acts as a reminder of a global health challenge that often goes unnoticed. In our latest blog, Manu De Rycker from the @dundee.ac.uk shares what his team are doing to combat this disease.

Graphic showing a seated woman with her head down, alongside text reading: “For too long, women have been blamed as a source of Chagas disease.” An icon of the insect vector appears beside her. A red banner at the bottom reads: “It’s time to shift the story.”
Today is World #ChagasDisease Day.
For too long, women have been stigmatized for a disease they didn't choose.
Most were infected the same way as everyone else by insect transmission, contaminated food, or other routes.
It's time to replace stigma with support. 🧡
