April 14th was World Chagas Disease Day! Chagas disease is a potentially life-threatening illness caused by the protozoan parasite Trypanosoma cruzi. It is mainly transmitted to humans through the infected faeces of the blood-sucking triatomine bug, which is the disease vector. This insect normally hides during the day and becomes active at night, when it feeds on human blood. There is no vaccine to prevent Chagas disease, but insecticide spraying of houses and surrounding areas and screening of blood donors can help prevent it!
