Not only are drugs and dangerous criminals pouring across the southern border of the U.S., but a protozoan parasite called Trypanosoma cruzi (T. cruzi) is also migrating through, bringing an entirely new (and fatal) threat to the U.S., which is called Chagas disease.

This T. cruzi parasite flourishes in 21 Latin American countries and affects nine million people in the Western Hemisphere. It is most common in places like Brazil, Bolivia and Mexico, but it is slowly establishing itself in the U.S., because infected immigrants from the south can readily cross the fearfully open U.S.-Mexico border.

According to The National School for Tropical Medicine at Baylor College of Medicine, there are a growing number of infections occurring in Texas. CDC officials report that there are 300,000 cases of Chagas disease currently in the U.S.

Chagas disease, also known as American trypanosomiasis, occurs when triatomine bugs, or “kissing” bugs, bite or defecate on humans, unleashing (T. cruzi) parasites into their host’s blood.

As the parasites take hold, they may target the gastrointestinal tract of their human host or even go after their heart. This often leads to a condition called Chagasic cardiomyopathy, which is a fatal condition for one in every six cases within five years of initial infection.
