Abstract (provisional)
Achieving sustainable economic and social growth
through advances in health is crucial in Latin America
within the framework of the United Nations Millennium
Development Goals. Health-related goals need to
incorporate a multidimensional approach addressing the
specific epidemiologic profile for each region of the
globe. In this regard, addressing the cycle of
destitution and suffering associated with infection
with Trypanosoma cruzi, the causal agent of Chagas
disease of American trypanosomiasis, will play a key
role to enable the most impoverished populations in
Latin America the opportunity to achieve their full
potential. Most cases of Chagas disease occur among
forgotten populations because these diseases persist
exclusively in the poorest and the most marginalized
communities in Latin America.
