Workshop objectives

To provide a better understanding of the current epidemiological status of Chagas disease in the Amazon,
discussing the impact of environmental changes and how to integrate public health and social features for a better
management of the disease. This will be done through three Scientific Sessions:
o
Chagas disease ecology in Amazonia: vectors, reservoirs, habitats, and transmission
o
Anthropogenic environmental change and Chagas disease eco-epidemiology
o
Human societies, perceptions and practices
2

To discuss and develop improved research approaches and disease prevention strategies. This will be done
through Working Groups:
o
Research needs and strategies
o
Disease prevention, control, and surveillance strategies: future trends

To deliver a document summarizing the meeting’s conclusions and recommendations

To formally constitute a scientific network for infectious disease research in Amazonia

To define potential work packages for further call proposals
