How is Chagas disease transmission- by triatomine bugs, by contaminated food, by blood transfusion or organ transplant, from mother to child in pregnancy.

Where is chagas disease found - mainly in Latin America. However it has been increasing detected in other parts of the world. Picture of a map of the world showing detection across the globe. Stats on chagas: over 7 million people infected world wide, over 10 thousand people die per year, over 100 million people at risk of infection

What are the signs of chagas disease? Symptoms are most often non-existent or mild and unspecific. The first visible signs can include: skin lesions, purplish swelling of an eyelid, fever, difficulty breathing, abdominal or chest pain.

Today is #WorldChagasDay - termed as a “silent and silenced disease” - infected majority have no symptoms or extremely mild symptoms, yet it is a potentially life-threatening disease.
