Chagas Disease was first described in 1909 by Brazilian physician Carlos Chagas, who identified the *Trypanosoma cruzi* parasite and its triatomine insect vector. His groundbreaking work was the first to fully describe a human disease cycle, encompassing the pathogen, vector, host, and clinical manifestations.
The primary route of transmission is vector-borne, through the bite of infected triatomine (\"kissing\") bugs. The parasite enters when a person scratches the bite, rubbing bug feces into the wound or mucous membranes. Other routes include mother-to-child (congenital), blood transfusions, organ transplants, and consumption of contaminated food or drink.
