Anthropogenic activities can impact the transmission of parasitic diseases in the Amazon. Gold mining and logging, for example, can facilitate vector transmission of Malaria, Leishmaniasis and Chagas Disease. It is estimated that eight million people are infected with Trypanosoma cruzi (etiological agent of Chagas Disease), with vector transmission (contact with the urine/feces of triatom…
Chagas disease is a neglected disease caused by Trypanosoma cruzi that affects about eight million people worldwide. Vectorial transmission, through contact with the urine/feces of triatomines infected by the protozoan, is considered the main route of contamination. About 67 species of triatomines are present in Brazil, with at least 30 species reported in the Amazon region. Several state…
Chagas' disease has as the etiological agent the protozoan Trypanosoma cruzi and the main form of transmission to humans is the vector through triatomines. The subfamily Triatominae has 18 genera and 152 species, of which two are fossils. The control of triatomines is necessary since it is the most efficient way to prevent the transmission of Chagas' disease. Thus, in order to disseminate…

Anthropogenic activities can impact the transmission of parasitic diseases in the Amazon. Gold mining and timber extraction, for example, they can facilitate the vectorial transmission of malaria, leishmaniasis and Chagas disease.

From the moment it was described by Chagas, in 1909, this new trypanosomiasis acquired a very great medical interest, arousing the curiosity of several researchers. Considered as a neglected tropical disease by the World Health Organization (WHO), it is part of a group of infectious diseases which mostly affect the poorest populations directly related to human and socioeconomic factors. C…

The environmental changes have caused alterations in the behavior of triatomines. Rhodnius is a genus that has a wide geographic distribution in the brazilian territory and all 21 species are capable of transmitting Trypanosoma cruzi. In the last decade, the number of occurrence records of Rhodnius spp. in anthropized areas has increased. Bearing in mind the problematic approximation of t…

Chagas disease is caused by the flagellate protozoan parasite, Trypanosoma cruzi, and is transmitted to humans mainly byblood-sucking bugs (subfamily Triatominae). There is no cure for the acute phase of this disease, and vector transmission is the main mode of infection in Brazil, so most remediation efforts focus on interrupting natural vectorial transmission by controlling domiciliated…
