Resumen
Despite being described for the first time more than 110 years ago, Chagas disease
persists as one of the most neglected tropical diseases. There are limited new treatment
options, and diagnosis, surveillance, and control face major bottlenecks. Morbidity and
mortality are still high in many settings, both in endemic and non-endemic areas.
