Mal de Chagas
Nombres alternativos:
Tripanosomiasis americana
Prevención:
El control de los insectos con insecticidas y la utilización de materiales de construcción para viviendas menos atractivos para las poblaciones de insectos ayudan a evitar la propagación de la enfermedad.
Los bancos de sangre en Centro y Suramérica examinan la sangre para verificar una exposición previa al parásito y se descarta la sangre si las pruebas en los donantes son positivas. Dado que la incidencia del Mal de Chagas es baja en los Estados Unidos, los bancos de sangre no examinan la sangre de los donantes para detectar dicha enfermedad.
