Ich bin gerade in der Umstellung von "#hoffnungslos" auf "#Endzeitstimmung': Mindestens unsere Region ist verloren, aber wir versauen auch die letzten Regionen der Regenwald- Gebiete für #Nutella- #Palmöl und #Biodiesel:

En el Día Mundial de las Enfermedades Tropicales Desatendidas no podemos olvidarnos de la enfermedad de Chagas. En este post hablamos del impacto del trabajo de la OMS durante estos últimos años y el papel que ha jugado la plataforma de integración de datos (WIDP) y algunas de las apps open source que desarrollamos y mantenemos desde EyeSeeTea.

Gestern (14.4.) war der Welt-Chagas-Tag. Die Krankheit ist in Lateinamerika weit verbreitet. Trotzdem erhalten Betroffene nur selten eine Diagnose. Die Behandlung fußt auf wenigen, alten Medikamenten.

#WorldChagasDay
#Chagas

World #Chagas Day is observed on April 14 to raise awareness about the disease and spread the word on how to prevent it.
The #CDC recommends travelers to areas where Chagas is found wear protective clothing and insect repellant, use insecticide-treated bed nets, sleep indoors, and not eat unpeeled or uncooked fruits and vegetables.  
Chagas can also be passed from mother to baby, through blood transfusions, organ transplantations and by eating food contaminated with the T. cruzi parasite.

Noch vor Ostern werden wir Euch die dritte Podcast Folge zu #NTDs präsentieren, dieses Mal geht´s um #Tollwut. Seid gespannt🥳
Bis dahin hört doch mal in unsere bisherigen Folgen zu #Chagas und #Schistosomiasis rein⏯️🎧🎈👇

Latin America’s ‘silent killer': How doctors are empowering communities in #Bolivia to fight #Chagas

I don't know how common these bugs are in North America or if they carry the parasite like they do in South America, but I catch several of them in and around my home in Northeastern Pennsylvania every year.

It's a good idea to learn to identify them.

Doctors push for more aggressive efforts to fight Chagas disease, a silent killer

The illness causes serious heart disease in an estimated 30% of infected people and can also lead to severe digestive problems.

New leads in the quest for better anti-trypanosome drugs
"We performed phenotypic screening against trypanosomes and identified a class of cyanotriazoles (CTs) with potent trypanocidal activity both in vitro and in mouse models of Chagas disease and HAT."

Transplant Board: U.S. Should Screen At-Risk Organ Donors for Chagas
==

Last week, ProPublica reported on the death of Bob Naedele, who passed after he received an infected heart; his death could have been prevented if the donor had been tested for Chagas.

The policy change comes after years of recommendations from experts for screening to prevent such deaths.

Organ Transplant Patients Can Die When Donors Aren't Screened for This Parasitic Disease
Bob Naedele died after receiving a heart from a donor with Chagas disease. His death could have been prevented if the donor had been tested. The group that governs U.S. transplant policies is considering mandatory screening of at-risk donors.
