EP11：揭開「親吻蟲」的神秘面紗

查加斯病，又稱美洲錐蟲病，是由寄生蟲「克魯氏錐蟲」引起的被忽略的熱帶疾病。這種疾病主要透過「親吻蟲」（錐獵椿科昆蟲）傳播，牠們在叮咬時排出帶有寄生蟲的糞便。除了蟲媒傳播，查加斯病還能透過輸血、口服甚至母嬰垂直傳播。全球有數百萬人受影響，其中約三成會發展為嚴重的查加斯心肌病，成為拉丁美洲心臟衰竭的主因之一。本影片將深入探討查加斯病的傳播途徑、症狀、在美國日益增長的本土案例，以及氣候變遷如何影響其傳播風險。了解這種疾病，是我們共同對抗全球健康挑戰的第一步。 參考資料：An Evidence-Based Intervention to Increase Trypanosoma cruzi, a Neglected Parasitic Infection, Diagnosis in Rural and Moderate-Size-City US Clinics.Assessing the role of ICD in Chagas heart disease: a systematic review, meta-analysis, and meta-regression.Chagas Cardiomyopathy: Lessons Learned and Future Directions from Bolivia.Chagas Disease, an Endemic Disease in the United States.()Factors affecting locomotor plasticity in Rhodnius prolixus.Chagas incidence and mortality cyclicities: a global burden of disease evaluation.View full-text in SpanishTriatomines outside the Americas: a comprehensive dataset for the global surveillance of Chagas disease vectors.Neonatal Infections. 免費追蹤，更新資訊不漏接： https://open.firstory.me/join/cmf1wvrez00n601tzbbmackvx 加入會員，支持節目： https://open.firstory.me/user/cmf1wvrez00n601tzbbmackvx 留言告訴我你對這一集的想法： https://open.firstory.me/user/cmf1wvrez00n601tzbbmackvx/comments Powered by Firstory Hosting
