SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
This report of a WHO Expert Committee reviews current knowledge of Chagas disease and its pathogenesis, discusses the causative parasite, the triatomine vectors, and the natural reservoirs of infection, and considers the epidemiology and incidence trends of the disease. Prevention and control strategies are described, as are the various formal initiatives for interruption of disease transmission. The report concludes by identifying priorities for research and offering guidance for the planning, implementation, and strengthening of national control programmes.
