World NTD Day: One Health Action Against Chagas’ Disease – A Neglected Parasitic Disease

Join us this World NTD Day on January 30, 2025, for an engaging virtual event focused on tackling Chagas’ disease through the One Health approach. Chagas’ disease, a neglected parasitic and tropical disease caused by Trypanosoma cruzi, poses serious public health challenges due to its transmission cycle, which spans humans, animals, and the environment. This event will highlight the critical role of One Health in addressing Chagas’ disease, emphasizing the interconnectedness of human health, animal health, and environmental health. Attendees will learn from research scientists about vector control strategies, diagnostic advancements, and community-based approaches to reduce the disease burden. Together, we can inspire collaborative efforts to combat this overlooked health crisis and promote a healthier future for all.
