由于最近的移民趋势，目前有数百万来自南美锥虫病流行国家的人生活在北美、欧洲、澳大利亚和日本，其中包括数千名克氏锥虫感染者。大多数感染者并不知道自己的状况。先天性、输血和/或移植相关的传播在美国、西班牙、加拿大和瑞士都有记录：大多数情况可能未被发现。高度优先事项包括实施适当的筛查、评价和临床管理，以及更好地评估与这一疾病相关的真正负担。(C)2009爱思唯尔有限公司版权所有。
Due to recent trends in migration, there are millions of people from Chagas disease-endemic countries now living in North America, Europe, Australia and Japan, including thousands of people with Trypanosoma cruzi infection. Most infected individuals are not aware of their status. Congenital, transfusion-and/or transplant-associated transmission has been documented in the United States, Spain, Canada and Switzerland: most instances likely go undetected. High priorities include the implementation of appropriate screening, evaluation and clinical management, and better assessment of the true burden associated with this disease. (C) 2009 Elsevier B.V.
