Mazza produced the first scientific confirmation of the existence of " Trypanosoma cruzi " in Argentina in 1927, eventually leading to support from local and European medical schools and Argentine government policy makers.

"Trypanosoma cruzi " is a member of the same genus as the infectious agent of African sleeping sickness, but its clinical manifestations, geographical distribution, life cycle and insect More . . . " ')

""'Panstrogylus geniculatus " "'is a blood-sucking sylvatic insect noted as a putative vector of minor importance in the transmission of " Trypanosoma cruzi " to humans; this is a parasite, which causes Chagas disease.

Today my quarry was Trypanosoma cruzi, a single-celled protozoan that can burrow into heart muscle and lead to Chagas'disease, named after Carlos Chagas, the first scientist to expose the secret life of T . cruzi.

The illness is named for Brazilian Dr . Carlos dos Chagas, who identified it in 1909 . It is spread mainly by insects carrying the parasite Trypanosoma cruzi, but can also be contracted through blood transfusions.

Chagas disease is the most significant example, because it is difficult to directly demonstrate the presence of the causative agent, " Trypanosoma cruzi " in a patient, which therefore makes it difficult to definitively make a diagnosis.

The great black bug of the Pampas is identified by Richard Keynes as " Triatoma infestans ", commonly called winchuka " " ( vinchuca ) ", the vector for " Trypanosoma cruzi " which leads to Chagas disease.

Confusion between the two pathogens'life-cycles led him to briefly recognize his genus " Schizotrypanum ", but following the description of " Pneumocystis " by others as an independent genus, Chagas returned to the use of the name " Trypanosoma cruzi ".

The first example of this technique used " Rhodnius prolixus " which is associated with the symbiont " Rhodococcus rhodnii " . " R . prolixus " is an important insect vector of Chagas's disease that is caused by " Trypanosoma cruzi ".
