Taxonomy: Eukaryota | Euglenozoa | Kinetoplastida | Trypanosomatidae | Trypanosoma | Schizotrypanum | Trypanosoma cruzi Comment: Trypanosoma cruzi, a protozoan parasite, causes American Trypanosomiasis or Chagas' disease. The disease is transmitted to humans through the feces of infected bloodsucking insects in endemic areas of Latin America, or occasionally by nonvectorial mechanisms, such as blood transfusion.
