Discovered 100 years ago, Chagas disease kills an estimated 14,000 people every year and remains the leading parasitic killer in the Americas. An estimated 100 million people are at risk and up to 15 million are infected. Endemic in Latin America, Chagas also affects people in North America, Europe, and Asia. A number of factors have kept Chagas disease at the bottom of public health agendas, including marginalization of infected populations, the difficulties in diagnosing and treating the disease, and low awareness in the medical community. There is a renewed commitment at the international level and from governments at the national level to address the issue as Chagas has been identified by PAHO Member States as one of the neglected disease for which opportunities exist to significantly reduce the disease burden in the mid to long term. |
