Today is #WorldChagasDiseaseDay which raises awareness for #Chagas disease. Like #STH, Chagas disease is an #NTD caused by a parasite. Chagas disease affects about 6-7 million worldwide and often goes undetected. Early detection is vital as it can be cured if treatment is given soon after infection.
