Chagasova bolest

Nadimak joj je novi AIDS u Americi, Chagas je tropska bolest koju uzrokuju paraziti koje na čovjeka prenose kukci koji piju krv. Kukac koji se naziva "kissing bug", bode ljude kako bi se hranio ljudskom krvlju, a u isto vrijeme izbacuje izmet s parazitom. Kad se žrtva počeše, unosi parazita u krv i inficira se.

Medicinski poznata kao Američka tripanosomijaza, Chagasova bolest ubija oko 20 000 ljudi godišnje i teško se ili nikako ne liječi. Bolest se može prenijeti s majke na dijete ili transfuzijom. Kod oko četvrtine žrtava na kraju se razvije povećano srce ili crijeva koji prestanu raditi ili se rasprsnu i uzrokuju iznenadnu smrt. Liječenje uključuje jake lijekove koji se uzimaju tri mjeseca, a terapija djeluje samo ako je bolest rano otkrivena.

Za razliku od HIV-a, Chagasova bolest se ne prenosi spolnim kontaktom, ali pokazuje neke sličnosti s HIV-om, jer je isto tako kronična bolest koja zahtijeva produženo i skupo liječenje.
