Synopsis: |
This report reviews existing knowledge of Chagas disease and its pathogenesis, discusses the causative parasite, the triatomine vectors and the natural reservoirs of infection, and considers the epidemiology and incidence trends of the disease. Prevention and control strategies are described, as are the various formal initiatives for interruption of disease transmission. The report concludes by identifying priorites for research and offering guidance for the planning, implementation and strengthening of national control programmes. |
