Chagas disease is now known as one of the most deadly parasitic diseases in the world. It badly affects more than 10 million people, especially in the Americas. Fifty thousand people each year in South America alone are killed by this disease. The diagnosis for this disease will be the best key for the war against the infection but unfortunately, it is still impossible. Dr. Momar Ndao’s team at the Research Institute of the MUHC developed a new diagnostic approach that will help in the fight against Chagas disease. Their results were recently published and can be read in the Journal of Clinical Microbiology.
