With climate change, US could face risk from Chagas disease
sciencedaily.com — “People in the US may be at higher risk for Chagas disease than previously understood. A new study finds that 38 percent of kissing bugs collected in Arizona and California contained human blood and that more than 50 percent of the bugs also carried the parasite that causes this life-threatening disease. This upends the view that US kissing bug species don't regularly feed on people and suggests that Chagas could spread, driven north by climate change.” View full resource at sciencedaily.com

Abbott Introduces Supplemental Blood Test for Chagas Disease | IVD Technology
ivdtechnology.com — “Abbott received approval from FDA for a new Chagas in vitro diagnostic test. The Abbott ESA Chagas is the first FDA-approved supplemental test that detects antibodies to Trypanosoma cruzi (T. cruzi), a parasite found only in the Americas and commonly acquired through contact with the blood-sucking triatomine, also known as a kissing bug. The test will be used as an additional, more specific test on human serum or plasma specimens found repeatedly reactive using a licensed screening test.” View full resource at ivdtechnology.com
