PAST AND PRESENT OF CHAGAS DISEASE IN NORTHERN CHILE
Contemporary understandings of the epidemiology of Chagas disease as well as its clinical features, together with knowledge of the insect vectors and genotypes of the causal agent Trypanosoma cruzi are important pieces of information for comparisons with cases in the past. Evidence indicates that 4...

Contemporary understandings of the epidemiology of Chagas disease as well as its clinical features, together with knowledge of the insect vectors and genotypes of the causal agent Trypanosoma cruzi are important pieces of information for comparisons with cases in the past.

Recent information on the dispersion of the domestic insect vector Triatoma infestans allows us to conclude that in the past only the wild Mepraia gajardoi insect vector transmitted Trypanosoma cruzi in its native area.
