This work presents a step towards a better understanding of this transmission route and points to a greater compromise for a public health surveillance. Also, it aims to the need for more research on the complex transmission dynamics of Chagas disease and further examine its clinical manifestations; in order to generate greater awareness and better understanding of this Neglected Tropical Disease, which will help reduce the burden of Chagas disease throughout Latin America.
