“…The following findings corroborated these hypotheses: 10 infected vectors were found in a palm tree near the kiosk, and 30 infected vectors were found in the dense wild forestland behind it. One infected vector (Triatoma tibiamaculata) was found in the kiosk, and finally an infected female opossum was found with four infected babies (15).…”

Various researchers have studied the importance of the oral transmission of Chagas' disease since the mid-20th century. Only in recent years, due to an outbreak that occurred in the Brazilian State of Santa Catarina in 2005 and to various outbreaks occurring during the last 3 years in the Brazilian Amazon basin, mainly associated with the consumption of Amazonian palm berry or açaí (Euterpe oleracea Mart.) juice, has this transmission route aroused the attention of researchers. Nevertheless, reports published in the 1960s already indicated the possibility of Chagas' disease transmission via food in Brazil, mainly in the Amazonian region. Recently, in December 2007, an outbreak of Chagas' disease occurred in Caracas, Venezuela, related to ingestion of contaminated fruit juices. The objective of this article is to point out the importance of foodborne transmission in the etiology of Chagas' disease, on the basis of published research and Brazilian epidemiology data.

“…These outbreaks are often related to the oral ingestion of juices of fruit that are indigenous to the region, such as açaí berry There have been few studies that described the mortalityrbidity of ACD transmitted by oral route. The presence of wild strains of Trypanosoma cruzi and the oral transmission can result in unique characteristics of the cardiac involvement of CD in the Amazon region 5,6 . JANF, 15-year-old male patient, from a community located on Km 17 of AM-010 Highway, city of Manaus, state of Amazonas, Brazil.…”

“…5,6 Besides, in the past years, oral transmission has also been responsible for causing outbreaks of acute CD. [7][8][9] Eight million people are estimated to be infected with CD around the world, with approximately 236,000 disabilityadjusted life years (DALYs) mostly in Latin America, with more than 10,000 deaths/year. 10,11 In South America, there are about 100 million people at risk of contracting CD, and 21 countries are endemic for the disease in the American continent.…”

Transmission of Chagas disease (CD) has decreased in recent decades, but the disease remains an important problem in endemic areas. There was an increase in the proportion of nonvector transmission, mainly in non-endemic countries. The aim of this study was to gather evidence concerning healthcare professional’s knowledge about CD. Searches were performed through Medline/PubMed, Lilacs, Web of Science databases, and Scielo archives, from which 13/97 articles were selected for a qualitative analysis after full-text reading. Most of the studies were from the United States, the oldest published in 2007 and the most recent in 2020, and most of them used surveys as the evaluation method. Each article used different methods, according to the epidemiological status of vector transmission. Two studies targeted specialty-related questions, and two used focus groups as methods for data gathering. Despite differences between the studies, all of them presented knowledge deficits among healthcare workers, regarding at least one of the evaluated aspects. In comparison with population surveys, healthcare professionals demonstrated higher results related to clinical aspects and awareness of the disease’s importance. Most of the articles showed a low perception of CD’s knowledge by the participants and a low probability of considering CD in the diagnosis of their patients. A previous contact with the subject was pointed by some studies as capable of improving knowledge of the participants. This study emphasizes the importance of continuing education to address deficits of healthcare professionals’ knowledge.
