Chagas Disease, also known as American trypanosomiasis, is an infection caused by the *Trypanosoma cruzi* parasite. It primarily affects people in Latin America, but is also found globally due to migration. It can lead to severe and irreversible heart and digestive problems if left untreated. Track Chagas Disease activity and outbreaks specific to Wyoming.
Open Web AppChagas 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.
