Chagas disease can be transmitted in five different ways: by a vector (through the faeces of an insect), through vertical or congenital transmission (from mother to her child during pregnancy), by way of blood transfusions or organ transplants, by ingesting contaminated food or drinks, or because of laboratory accidents.
Chagas disease is also known as American Trypanosomiasis to differentiate it from African Trypanosomiasis (African sleeping sickness), which is caused by a different species (variety or type) of Trypanosoma parasite. Various species of reduviid or triatomine bugs transmit it.
