Açai ( <i>Euterpe precatoria</i> Mart. Arecaceae) from the Northern Region of Bolivia is not contaminated with <i>Trypanosoma cruzi</i>

Abstract excerpt

Chagas disease is a very important public health problem in America. It is caused by the protozoan parasite Trypanosoma cruzi and transmitted by vectors such as Triatomine insects. However, oral transmission is generating more T. cruzi infections than vectorial transmission in Brazilian Amazonic regions, probably due to the increased consumption of tropical fruits such as açai. Açai palms have become very popula...
