One of the best-studied populations with regard to Chagas disease is from the coastal area of northern Chile at the foot of the western Andean slopes between about 19 and 23 degrees of south latitude. The extremely arid climate here generates rapid, spontaneous desiccation of buried bodies, arresting the decay process. The absence of rainfall then preserves these dried bodies (mummies) for millennia, these conditions allow to elucidate the transmission dynamics and determinants of ancient genotypes, and to try to unravel the natural history of the T.
All Latin America has to honor the Carlos Chagas legacy and face such challenges. His old institution and many others on the continent are actively engaged in research on several topics concerning Chagas disease. gov) showed very few studies are devoted to infectious diseases clinical trials: 390 on malaria, 336 on tuberculosis, but only 10 on Chagas disease: 5 on diagnosis and 5 on treatment. This expresses the real definition of a neglected disease. Neglected by the 18 American Trypanosomiasis Chagas Disease pharmaceutical industry, which does not invest in research and technological development of drugs for the treatment of Chagas disease because it does not provide a rich market for buying future products.
