Quase 90 anos depois do primeiro estudo sobre o Trypanosoma cruzi, por Carlos Chagas, a Editora Fiocruz publicou os primeiros volumes deste Atlas, que apresenta um panorama dos vetores da doença. A obra aborda avanços importantes no conhecimento sobre os triatomíneos, em estudos detalhados e ricamente ilustrados com fotos, inclusive de microscopia eletrônica de varredura. Além de cientistas do Brasil, Argentina e Venezuela, também assinam o Altas pesquisadores de Costa Rica, Uruguai, Cuba, Jamaica e México. Cada capítulo foi escrito por um especialista e inclui, além de figuras e tabelas para favorecer a compreensão, extensa bibliografia para consulta. A edição é bilíngue (português-inglês).

Chagas disease causes severe socioeconomic impact and a high medical cost in Latin America. WHO and the World Bank consider Chagas disease as the fourth most transmittable disease to have a major impact on public health in Latin America: 120 million persons are potentially exposed, 16 to 18 million of whom are presently infected, causing 45,000 to 50,000 deaths per year. It has been calculated that approximately 2.4 million potential working years are lost because of incapacity and mortality due to the disease, for an annual cost estimated at 20 billion Euros. American Trypanosomiasis provides a comprehensive overview of Chagas disease and discusses the latest discoveries concerning the three elements that compose the transmission chain of the disease: - The host: human and mammalian reservoirs - The insect vectors: domestic and sylvatic vectors - The causative parasite: Trypanosoma cruzi - Informs and updates on all the latest developments in the field - Contributions from leading authorities and industry experts

This book offers a valuable resource, reviewing the current state of knowledge concerning the pathology and epidemiology of infectious diseases in both captive and wild monkeys. The One Health concept forms the framework of all chapters. The multidisciplinary team of authors addresses neglected diseases caused by the three major pathogen groups - bacteria, viruses, and parasites. Moreover, the volume discusses key virulence factors such as the evolution of antibiotic resistance, and the ecological drivers of and human influence on pathogen transmission. Demonstrating how researchers working on monkeys diseases are increasingly thinking outside the box, this volume is an essential reference guide to the field of One Health and will serve as an asset for stakeholders in conservation, healthcare and research organizations that face the challenge of moving beyond classical human oriented approaches to health.
