Trypanosoma cruzi, a parasitic protozoan, is the causative agent of Chagas disease (American trypanosomiasis). It is believed that 6–7 million people worldwide, primarily in Latin America, suffer from this disease, which accounts for 12,000 fatalities annually. Further, 10% of patients with persistent infections experience neurological or digestive disorders or both, and up to one-third of these patients experience cardiac changes that may require special care.
