This book contains 11 chapters of significant and updated materials on what we know and what we lack and need in better understanding of Trypanosoma cruzi - a parasite that never dies - and the consequences of Chagas disease as one of the most important neglected parasitic diseases threatening the global health and wellbeing. This book is intended to increase the readers' enthusiasm to explore the four sections of the contents: Section 1 begins with biochemistry, pathophysiology, histo-immunological study, and findings to assist in the diagnosis; Section 2 further investigates the role of vector in propagation of the parasite, the intensity on epidemiology, and the severity on clinical aspects, which help us to be well perceived on the course of disease; Section 3 is seeking beyond modern medicine and what lays in the nature that helps fight against this parasite; and the last section, Section 4, deals with the impacts of public health problem and the control strategies on Chagas disease.

This book aims to present updated knowledge on various aspects of the natural history, biology, and impact of triatomines to all interested readers. Each chapter will be written by authorities in the respective field, covering topics such as behavior, neurophysiology, immunology, ecology, and evolution. The contents will consider scientific, as well as innovative perspectives, on the problems related to the role of triatomine bugs as parasite vectors affecting millions in the Latin American region.

Esta esmerada obra – que reúne um conjunto iconográfico singular, fruto de ampla pesquisa, e uma compilação dos mais expressivos documentos relativos à vida e à obra de Carlos Chagas – conduz o leitor através das múltiplas dimensões da trajetória biográfica desse distinto pesquisador e suas variadas facetas. Por se tratar de um livro composto essencialmente de imagens, contém pouco texto próprio, mas não menos importante, como o que descreve Chagas como um dos líderes do movimento que preconizava a intervenção do Estado na saúde pública. À época, o Brasil era considerado ‘doente’ não porque fosse país tropical ou formado por mestiços, mas porque não havia políticas preventivas na área da saúde. Chagas, pois, além de brilhante cientista, foi também um destacado sanitarista. A obra é constituída de capítulos que abrangem sua infância, sua formação médica, as campanhas que realizou contra a malária, a descoberta da doença que leva seu nome, os estudos sobre tal assunto, a polêmica em torno da nova enfermidade, a expedição que realizou à Amazônia, sua atuação como diretor do IOC e como gestor da saúde pública federal, sua atividade como professor, alguns aspectos de sua vida pessoal e familiar e, por fim, premiações e títulos que conquistou ao longo de sua carreira. Os conteúdos históricos fundamentais sobre cada tema estimularão o leitor a percorrê-lo através da narrativa das imagens. A publicação tem o mérito de contribuir para a propagação da obra de Carlos Chagas, que, longe de situar-se em um passado distante, apresenta plena atualidade com o presente da agenda sanitária e política relacionada às chamadas doenças tropicais negligenciadas, e à sua associação com a pobreza nos países em desenvolvimento.
