Chagas Disease
This book provides a comprehensive resource on various aspects of the parasite Trypanosoma cruzi and the neglected tropical disease Chagas disease (American trypanosomiasis), the disorder resulting from infection with the parasite. Topics include the biological description and taxonomy of the parasite, epidemiology and transmission routes, laboratory techniques in use when working with the parasite, as well as diagnostic measures and treatment of Chagas disease. Furthermore, a chapter with life stories of people in contact with the disease in endemic as well as non-endemic countries is included.
The book is therefore a valuable source for individuals engaged in basic research as well as patient care and health management related to American trypanosomiasis.
María-Jesús Pinazo Delgado and Joaquim Gascon are both researchers at the IS Global (Instituto de Salud Global de Barcelona), the Institute of Global Health in Barcelona.
