The Chagas disease is frequently referred to as the effects that the parasite Trypanosoma cruzi (T. cruzi) has on people’s health. However, from our perspective, Chagas is much more than that: it is a complex socioenvironmental health problem in which elemen...ts of different nature converge and interact. The biomedical and epidemiological aspects, which are most frequently addressed, are only a piece of the puzzle that needs to be complete in order to understand Chagas in all its complexity. Social, environmental, economic, political, cultural, and educational elements turn out to be essential in comprehending the magnitude of the problem without prejudice or stigmatizations.

Food-borne trematode infections are zoonotic, and their pathogens can be transmitted to humans only after the completion of a complex life cycle, some stages of which take place in the body of an intermediate animal host. The first intermediate hosts of all tr...ematode species are freshwater snails. The second host varies depending on the species: in the case of clonorchiasis and opisthorchiasis it is freshwater fish, and in the case of paragonimiasis it is crustaceans.

Les trématodes d'origine alimentaire sont des zoonoses et leurs agents pathogènes ne peuvent être transmis à l'homme qu'après avoir accompli un cycle de vie complexe, dont certaines étapes se déroulent dans un hôte animal intermédiaire. Les premiers h...ôtes intermédiaires de toutes les espèces de trématodes sont les escargots d'eau douce. Le deuxième hôte diffère selon l'espèce : dans le cas de la clonorchiase et de l'opisthorchiase, il s'agit de poissons d'eau douce, et dans le cas de la paragonimiase, de crustacés.

Los trematodos transmitidos por los alimentos son zoonosis y sus patógenos sólo pueden transmitirse al ser humano tras completar un complejo ciclo vital, algunas de cuyas etapas tienen lugar en un hospedador animal intermediario. El primer hospedador interme...diario de todas las especies de trematodos son los caracoles de agua dulce. El segundo hospedador difiere según la especie: en el caso de la clonorquiasis y la opistorquiasis son los peces de agua dulce, y en el de la paragonimiasis, los crustáceos.

Трематодозы пищевого происхождения являются зоонозами, и их возбудители могут передаваться человеку только после завершения сложного жизне...нного цикла, некоторые стадии которого протекают в организме промежуточного животного хозяина. Первыми промежуточными хозяевами всех видов трематод являются пресноводные улитки. Второй хозяин бывает разным в зависимости от вида: в случае клонорхоза и описторхоза это пресноводные рыбы, а в случае парагонимоза — ракообразные.

One of the ongoing challenges with neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) is that the discovery of medicines to treat them has been very slow. Current global programmes for NTDs largely depend on donated medicines, primarily to treat the world’s poorest people ... most of whom live in remote rural or in deprived urban settings.
WHO recently spoke to Mr Robert J. Gyurik, who discovered albendazole in 1972. He took us through the journey that led him to develop the compound.
