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. 606 $aParasitology 606 $aInfectious diseases 606 $aMedical microbiology 606 $aParasitology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/B19002 606 $aInfectious Diseases$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/H33096 606 $aMedical Microbiology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/B16003 606 $aMalaltia de Chagas$2thub 606 $aParasitologia mèdica$2thub 606 $aMedicina tropical$2thub 608 $aLlibres electrònics$2thub 615 0$aParasitology. 615 0$aInfectious diseases. 615 0$aMedical microbiology. 615 14$aParasitology. 615 24$aInfectious Diseases. 615 24$aMedical Microbiology. 615 7$aMalaltia de Chagas 615 7$aParasitologia mèdica 615 7$aMedicina tropical 676 $a616.9363 702 $aPinazo Delgado$b María-Jesús$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aGascón$b Joaquim$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910416106403321 996 $aChagas Disease$91994004 997 $aUNINA
