Penyakit Cagas

Penyakit Cagas- trypanosomiasis merupakan sejenis penyakit yang diakibatkan oleh protozoa parasit Trypanosoma cruzi. Ia disebarkan oleh serangga penghisap darah, melalui pemindahan darah, dari ibu kepada anak, dll. Dianggarkan 50,000 pesakit meninggal akibat penyakit ini di Amerika.

Sejarah[sunting | sunting sumber]

Penyakit ini dinamakan sempena ahli perubatan dan infektologi Brazil Carlos Chagas, yang menggambarkannya kali pertama pada 1909,^[1]^[2] tetapi penyakit ini tidak dianggap sebagai masalah utama pada manusia sehinggalah 1960-an. Dia mendapati bahawa usus Triatomidae melindungi flagellate protozoan, spesies baru genus Trypanosoma, dan mampu membuktikannya melalui ujikaji bahawa ia dapat dipindahkan kepada monyet marmoset yang digigit oleh pepijat yang dijangkiti.
