This song was inspired by a survey of household risk factors for having populations of Vinchucas - Insects that transmit Chagas disease (The Vectors) - a chronic disease for which there is no cure and which results in death by heart failure or GI tract failure (toxic mega colon syndrome). VISIT World Health Organization for a more precise description and illustrations. http://www.who.int/tdr/diseases/chagas/lifecycle.htm --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I wrote this in October 2006 when I participated as a surveyor in a prevention campaign carried out by Dr Ricardo Gurtler's research group in Santiago de Estero - a northern province of Argentina. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
