Description:

Chagas disease caused by the protozoan Trypanosoma cruzi is one of the most serious and widespread infectious diseases in South America. Mechanism of severe heart damage, hallmark of the disease, remains largely unknown. Some scientists maintain that mitochondrial DNA of the parasite integrates into the genome of Chagas patients and is even inherited by their children. However, many doubts that remain about this unprecedented finding are discussed here.
