Resumen

Chagas disease is a little known disease, transmitted by a parasite named Trypanosoma cruzi. In 2005, the World Health Organization declared it a neglected disease, which contributed to spreading knowledge about the characteristics of the disease, as well as supporting scientific research into new and better treatments, early diagnosis, detection and care of people with the disease. In the field of scientific research, particles smaller than viruses are being studied, in order to efficiently carry already tested drugs; but also with the application of this nanotechnology, to the use of nanocarriers that manage to reach the parasite and modify its way of reproduction or infection, thus fighting the disease.
