The 17 pages that link to Chagas disease, each with the reason it gives.

• Enteric nervous systemRelated: Damage to enteric neurons can cause severe enlargement and dysfunction of the esophagus or colon.

• HemipteraRelated: Some blood-feeding hemipterans transmit the parasite that causes this disease.

• Vector controlRelated: Housing improvements and insecticides target domestic triatomine vectors.

• Molecular mimicryRelated: Cross-reactivity between parasite antigens and host proteins has been proposed in chronic tissue damage.

• Dilated cardiomyopathyRelated: Chronic Chagas infection can lead to ventricular dilation, heart failure, and arrhythmias.

• Trypanosoma cruziRelated: This infection's clinical consequences define the disease caused by the parasite.

• AchalasiaRelated: Chronic infection can destroy esophageal neurons and produce secondary achalasia.

• EuglenozoaRelated: Its causative agent is a kinetoplastid, connecting the group to a major neglected disease.

• TriatominaeRelated: Infected triatomines transmit the parasite, usually through feces deposited near a bite.

• KinetoplastidRelated: Its long-term cardiac and digestive effects illustrate the consequences of infection.

• ReduviidaeRelated: It is the major human disease associated with a reduviid lineage.

• AntiparasiticRelated: Its limited drug options illustrate the challenges of treating chronic parasitic infection.
