This persistent neglect of those affected by this disease is evidenced by the ongoing scientific evidence gaps, the difficulty of incorporating new diagnostic and treatment technologies into the market, and public health failures to ensure timely access to diagnosis and treatment associated with the development of consistent surveillance and control actions. As a result, there is a high burden of morbidity and mortality, and poor quality of life, poverty, stigma, and a fear of death persist for affected people, both in endemic areas in Latin America, and in non-endemic areas. This book spans a variety of disciplines and contributes significantly to reducing the gap in scientific knowledge on Chagas disease, towards achieving the Sustainable Development Goals by 2030.MedicinebicsscChagas diseaseneglected tropical diseasesmigrationhealthcare rightsmucosal leishmaniasisco-infectionantimoniate therapycardiomyopathymyocardial fibrosismyocardial sympathetic denervationinflammationsudden deathcardiac magnetic resonanceradionuclide imagingSPECT-CTPET-CTheart diseaseelectrocardiogramdisease progressionstrokerisk assessmentTrypanosoma cruziTriatoma infestansparasite prevalencecoprophagyhuman illnessneglected tropical diseaseglobal financingannual fundinginvestmentsdisease notificationpublic policyneglected topical diseaseshealthcare accesschagasic cardiomyopathyheart transplantationChagas disease reactivationcardiac allograft rejectiontreatment of reactivationgenomeparasiteneglected diseasesheart transplantchagas disease reactivationCohort studiesNeglected diseasesDynamic programmingcost of illnessprematureefficiencyorganizationallife expectancyAmerican trypanosomiasisTrypanosoma cruzi infectionpublic healthepidemiologyprevention and controlsurveillanceclinical researchOne HealthMedicineHeukelbach Jorgedt1303476Ramos Jr Alberto Novaesedtde Sousa Andrea SilvestreedtHeukelbach JorgothRamos Jr Alberto Novaesothde Sousa Andrea SilvestreothBOOK9910557598203321Chagas Disease3027093UNINA
