The importance of the multidisciplinary approach to deal with the new epidemiological scenario of Chagas disease (global health)

# metadata.dc.description.abstract[].value
There are currently two major factors that have modified the
                epidemiology of Chagas disease in the last decades: climate
                change and migration flows. In this new scenario, there are new
                challenges to control and prevent Trypanosoma cruzi infection in
                endemic countries, such as the control of a wider distribution
                of triatomine vectors or the reinforcement of vertical
                transmission programs. In non-endemic areas, few countries are
                aware of the emergence of this new disease and have established
                changes in their health systems. To address this new public
                health challenge, the priorities should be control programs to
                avoid new cases of T. cruzi infection acquired through vertical
                transmission, blood transfusion or organ transplant. In both,
                endemic and non-endemic areas, the international community and
                all the actors involved in Chagas disease must join efforts
                mainly in two directions: better management of the infection in
                affected individuals and more research to cover the knowledge
                gap mainly in physiopathology, diagnosis and treatment.
