T. Cruzi is a single cell parasite...

…that is transmitted via the Triatomine bug

T. Cruzi has distinct phases throughout its life cycle

Chagas Has Two Phases: Acute PhaseChronic Phase

The most recognizable symptom is Romaña’s Sign

Chagas is the leading cause of infectious cardiomyopathy worldwide

The Acute Phase is potentially treatable Benznidazole Nifurtimox

Chagas Disease affects mainly Latin American countries…

…Yet there are many reported cases globally

Fortunately, the numbers for Chagas are on the decline
