Chagas disease, is a form of trypanosomiasis (an infection with a parasite known as a trypanosome), therefore it is most commonly transmitted by a bite (or from the feces of) a bloodsucking insect that carries the parasite.
Chagas disease is mostly spread through insects known as kissing bugs. It can also be spread through blood transfusion, from a mother to an unborn child and through eating contaminated food.
Worldwide, an estimated 16 million to 18 million people are infected with Chagas disease. Of those infected, an estimated 50,000 die each year. -GoldenToast
