El Mal de Chagas y el Dengue, tienen un rostro urbano muy distribuido en países desarrollados y en clases sociales medias y altas de países en desarrollo.  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;i&gt;2.1  En el caso del Mal de Chagas ese rostro urbano es consecuencia de la migración de habitantes infectados que incrementaron las vías de transmisión de madre a hijo (connatal) y la transmisión por transfusión de sangre infectada en bancos de sangre y donación de órganos, sin ningún tipo de intervención para su control hasta hace un par de años.  &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;i&gt;2.2  En el caso de Dengue por la presencia de poblaciones de mosquitos Aedes Aegypti o Aedes Albopictus en expansión por factores ambientales, políticos y sociales.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#660000;"&gt;3-  El mal de Chagas y Dengue, es responsabilidad de los gobiernos.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#FF0000;"&gt;Falso&lt;/span&gt;,  la búsqueda de alternativas de control, no pasan "exclusivamente" por una obligación de la gestión pública ni por la asignación de los magros presupuestos que pueden asignar los gobiernos.  Consolidar un equipo de especialistas en la búsqueda del camino alternativo, permitió a &lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#666600;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Chagas Disease Alliance -ChaDA&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;,  conocer algunas claves que propagan estas enfermedades y poder asi, definir un plan estratégico de corto, mediano y largo plazo, asentado sobre una plataforma de Acción denominada Plan de Acción Global (PAG) alineada con las regulaciones vigentes en materia de salud pública y en constante apoyo, desde el año 2008 con empresas globales con soluciones efectivas basadas en pruebas.  ChaDA, en su corta gestión ha logrado que esas empresas inviertan en la validación a campo de productos, formas de uso, dosificación y Programas.  Lo que nos permite proyectar resultados objetivos.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#660000;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;4-  Las enfermedades transmitidas por vectores son erradicables.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;No hay consenso generalizado sobre si estos males son erradicables.  La Gestión de ChaDA adhiere a &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/dvbid/dengue/slideset/spanish/index.htm"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;CDC&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt; cuando dice: &lt;a href="http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/dvbid/dengue/slideset/spanish/set1/viii/slide04.htm"&gt;"La erradicación hemisférica del Aedes aegypti ya no es una meta realista"&lt;/a&gt; y creemos que lo mismo vale para Mal de Chagas.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;i&gt;4.1  Mal de Chagas como Dengue y otras enfermedades transmitidas por vectores tienen múltiples componentes que las sostienen.    Desde hace varias décadas seguimos condenando a personas a vivir una vida de discapacidad o de muerte prematura porque somos deficientes para enfrentar males prevenibles, "con fórmulas"  y/o métodos o sistemas que excluyen la asignación de recursos al uso de tecnología para la vigilancia entomológica (por ejemplo) y a la Investigación.  &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;i&gt;4.2  Así mismo, los recursos asignados a la investigación, además de ser insuficientes, tienen la caracteristica que las instituciones que reciben esos recursos, las mas de las veces, trabajan disociados de las empresas que deberían ser quienes evalúen la factibilidad técnica y económica de desarrollo de esos productos a escala y la realción costo/beneficio de la innovación; hecho que pemitiría hacer un uso eficiente de los recursos públicos asignados y maximizar esa eficiencia.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;i&gt;4.3  El logro exitoso de una vacuna preventiva realizaría la meta de la erradicación pero en el caso del Mal de Chagas estamos lejos, ya que para probar eficacia de una vacuna para este mal, habría que hacer ensayos a muy largo plazo para corroborar la efectividad en pacientes que manifiestan síntomas de enfermedad luego de los 40/50 años.  Por su puesto que sería un ideal contar con vacuna preventiva en Mal de Chagas, pero debemos actuar hoy.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;i&gt;La empresas con capacidad de investigación, miran con mas entusiasmo, por la oportunidad que representa, investigar y desarrollar una vacuna para dengue, que para mal de Chagas, ya que la magnitud de las personas bajo riesgo es mucho mayor.  Así, el mercado de una vacuna para prevenir dengue, solo en Asia, tiene &lt;a href="http://www.sanofipasteur.com/sanofi-pasteur2/sp-media/SP_CORP/EN/54/713/DENGUE%20SINGAPORE%20VIETNAM%20210409%20ENG.pdf?siteCode=SP_CORP"&gt;un mercado potencial de 1.800 millones de personas&lt;/a&gt; .&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;i&gt;4.4  Mientras excluyamos, un programa de diagnóstico preventivo, para mal de Chagas, este centenario mal, no tendra motivaciones de inversión a largo plazo; como lo requiere.  Desde ChaDA aspiramos a que la nueva conciencia, llegué a todos los sectores y actores con decisión.  Mal de Chagas, es mercado.  &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;i&gt;El criterio que valida, la afirmación anterior  es evidente en lo siguiente:  Si continuamos ignorando que &lt;a href="http://www.el-universal.com.mx/notas/575236.html"&gt;México tiene 8 millones de infectados&lt;/a&gt;, únicamente en bancos de sangre, las soluciones nunca llegarán para este país,  el número global de infectados en territorio endémico, le dará identidad a &lt;a href="http://www.plosntds.org/article/slideshow.action?uri=info:doi/10.1371/journal.pntd.0000300&amp;amp;imageURI=info:doi/10.1371/journal.pntd.0000300.t002#"&gt;8 o 9 millones de personas, negando a la población infectada en México, por ser países no endémicos... &lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;  (Vease:  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: normal; color: rgb(51, 51, 51);  font-weight: bold; line-height: 28px; "&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.plosntds.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pntd.0000300"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;The Neglected Tropical Diseases of Latin America and the Caribbean: A Review of Disease Burden and Distribution and a Roadmap for Control and Elimination&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);  font-weight: normal; line-height: normal; font-style: italic; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.aabb.org/Content/Programs_and_Services/Data_Center/Chagas/"&gt;Estados Unidos, a partir de 2007, controla la via de transmisión en Bancos de Sangre&lt;/a&gt;. Mientras se siga dilatando, el diagnóstico preventivo, en pacientes que puedan haber recibido transfusión de sangre o donación de órganos antes de ese año, el mundo, el mercado, las empresas, los gobiernos y la comunidad con poder de crear una diferencia seguirán desconociendo la magnitud real del problema reemergente en ese país.

Chagas  Disease and Dengue, both affect the middle and upper-classes of developing  countries but their incidence is also increasing in urban zones of  developed-countries. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="MARGIN: 0px; MIN-HEIGHT: 14px; FONT: 12px Helvetica"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="MARGIN: 0px; FONT: 12px Helvetica"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;2.1 In the case of Chagas Disease,  the increasing incidence in urban zones is a consequence of migration of  infected-individuals from endemic zones to cities where the parasite is  transmitted via routes other than directly from vector to host.  Mother to child  (vertical transmission), transfusion (from infected blood in blood banks), and  transplantation (from infected organs that are donated) all account for this  emergence. No control measures have existed until the last couple of years to  intervene in these routes of transmission.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="MARGIN: 0px; MIN-HEIGHT: 14px; FONT: 12px Helvetica"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="MARGIN: 0px; FONT: 12px Helvetica"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;2.2 In the case of Dengue, the  presence of populations of the vector, mosquitos &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;Aedes aegypti &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;and  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;Aedes albopictus,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt; has expanded due to a combination of environmental,  political, and social factors.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="MARGIN: 0px; MIN-HEIGHT: 14px; FONT: 12px Helvetica"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="MARGIN: 0px; FONT: 12px Helvetica"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#990000;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;3. "Chagas Disease is a  responsibility of local governments in endemic zones"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="MARGIN: 0px; FONT: 12px Helvetica"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#FF6600;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;False&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;, the search for alternative  methods of control are not "exclusively" the obligation of public leaders with  budgets that have been granted by the government.  The consolidation of a team  of specialists in this search down an alternative road has permitted Chagas  Disease Alliance- ChaDA to get to know some of the keys in the development of  these diseases and be able to define a strategic short-, medium-, and long-term  plans.  The plans are rooted in a platform of action called Global Action Plan  (GAP), which is in sync with the current public health regulations and with the  constant support, since 2008, of global companies with evidence-based  solutions.  ChaDA, in the short time since its creation, has achieved to  convince these companies to invest in the subsistence of various programs and  products that allow us to project objective results.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="MARGIN: 0px; MIN-HEIGHT: 14px; FONT: 12px Helvetica"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="MARGIN: 0px; FONT: 12px Helvetica"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#990000;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;4. "Vector-transmitted diseases are  eradicable"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="MARGIN: 0px; FONT: 12px Helvetica"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;There is no general consensus about  the eradication of these diseases.  ChaDA concedes with the &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/dvbid/dengue/slideset/spanish/index.htm"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;CDC&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt; in the  statement, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/dvbid/dengue/slideset/spanish/set1/viii/slide04.htm"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;"the hemispheric eradication of &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/dvbid/dengue/slideset/spanish/set1/viii/slide04.htm"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;Aedes aegyti &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/dvbid/dengue/slideset/spanish/set1/viii/slide04.htm"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;is no longer  realistic"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt; and we believe that the same holds true in the eradication of the  vector that causes Chagas Disease.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="MARGIN: 0px; MIN-HEIGHT: 14px; FONT: 12px Helvetica"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="MARGIN: 0px; FONT: 12px Helvetica"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;4.1 Chagas Disease, like Dengue and  other vector-transmitted diseases, has multiple components that sustain it.  For  several decades, we continue to condemn people to live a life of disability or  pre-mature death because we are not prepared to face such preventable diseases.   This lack of preparation is due to systems and programs that don't permit the  appropriate assignment of resources and the use of technology for entomologic  surveillance (for example) and research. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="MARGIN: 0px; MIN-HEIGHT: 14px; FONT: 12px Helvetica"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="MARGIN: 0px; FONT: 12px Helvetica"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;4.2 The designated resources for  research are insufficient in addition to being poorly-distributed.  In the  majority of cases, the institutions that receive funding are NOT associated with  the companies that SHOULD be evaluating the technical and economic feasibility  of the development of products (medications and entomologic control), whom can  do it on a innovative scale with a maximum cost-benefit relationship; granted  that it would permit an efficient use of the assigned public resources and  maximize efficiency.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="MARGIN: 0px; MIN-HEIGHT: 14px; FONT: 12px Helvetica"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="MARGIN: 0px; FONT: 12px Helvetica"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;4.3 The successful achievement of a  preventative vaccine would bring us to the "finishing line"- eradication, but in  the case of Chagas Disease we are still far from achieving this.  In order to  prove the efficacy of such a vaccine to bring it to the market, there would have  to be extremely long-lasting clinical trials carried out in patients that  manifest symptoms of the disease after 40-50 years of age.  Of course it would  be ideal to count on a preventative vaccine for Chagas Disease, but we must act  today.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="MARGIN: 0px; MIN-HEIGHT: 14px; FONT: 12px Helvetica"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="MARGIN: 0px; FONT: 12px Helvetica"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;The companies with the capacity for  research look at the opportunity to develop a vaccine for Dengue with more  enthusiasm than for Chagas Disease since the magnitude of people at risk for  Dengue is much greater.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.sanofipasteur.com/sanofi-pasteur2/sp-media/SP_CORP/EN/54/713/DENGUE%20SINGAPORE%20VIETNAM%20210409%20ENG.pdf?siteCode=SP_CORP"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;The market for a vaccine to prevent Dengue has a  potential to benefit 1.8 billion people, in Asia alone&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;.    &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="MARGIN: 0px; MIN-HEIGHT: 14px; FONT: 12px Helvetica"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="MARGIN: 0px; FONT: 12px Helvetica"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;4.4 While ruling out a program for  a preventation for the century year-old plague of Chagas Disease, there is not  going to be motivation for long-term investment, which is what is needed.  At  ChaDA, we hope this new awareness arrives to all involved-parties and  decision-makers.  Chagas Disease is a market.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="MARGIN: 0px; MIN-HEIGHT: 14px; FONT: 12px Helvetica"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="MARGIN: 0px; FONT: 12px Helvetica"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;What validates the previous  statement is evident in the following:  If we continue ignoring the fact that  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.el-universal.com.mx/notas/575236.html"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;Mexico has 8 million infected people, all infected via blood banks&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;, the problem  will never be resolved. The number of infected people in the endemic areas can  help call attention and bring an identity to the people affected in non-endemic  countries, such as the population infected via contaminated blood transfusions.  (&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.plosntds.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pntd.0000300"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;Read: The Neglected Tropical Diseases of Latin America and the Caribbean: A  Review of Disease Burden and Distribution and a Roadmap for Control and  Elimination&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="MARGIN: 0px; MIN-HEIGHT: 14px; FONT: 12px Helvetica"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="MARGIN: 0px; FONT: 12px Helvetica"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;Since 2007, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.aabb.org/Content/Programs_and_Services/Data_Center/Chagas/"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;the United States has  controlled transmission from blood banks&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;.  While a diagnosis continues to be put  off in patients that could have received a blood transfusion or organ donation  before that year, the world, the market, the companies, the governments, and the  community with the power to create a difference continue to not recognize the  real magnitude of the reemerging problem in the USA.

We are the successors of those who left us the responsibility to do  something for the brothers and sisters that suffer day-to-day from Chagas  Disease, regardless of socioeconomic status. Chagas disease is no longer a  disease of poverty, because it doesn't exclude people from non-endemic countries  such as Japan, Spain, US , etc.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="MARGIN: 0px; MIN-HEIGHT: 19px; FONT: 16px Courier"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="MARGIN: 0px; FONT: 16px Courier"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;We cannot leave the legacy of  Chagas Disease to future generations, keeping in mind the fact that in a  globalized world-market economy, "Tropical diseases are not profitable  opportunities for pharmaceutical companies nor for companies involved in the  research and development of pesticides used for entomologic control in public  health ," as we have heard for decades.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="MARGIN: 0px; FONT: 16px Courier"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;ChaDA promotes a new paradigm.  To initiate prevention, we need to stop "neglected diseases" from being created  and instead control and prevent "tropical diseases" (no longer forgotten or  neglected tropical diseases). Chagas disease, and other tropical diseases can be  prevented by a multidisciplinary effort. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="MARGIN: 0px; MIN-HEIGHT: 19px; FONT: 16px Courier"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="MARGIN: 0px; FONT: 16px Courier"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;Our request for mercy and  gratitude, founded in the unity that we attribute to those brothers and sisters  who suffer from this flagellate with "no definitive cure for the moment, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;but can  possibly be prevented,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;" gives us the opportunity to be more aware, more civic  and more humane, both individually and collectively. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="MARGIN: 0px; MIN-HEIGHT: 19px; FONT: 16px Courier"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="MARGIN: 0px; FONT: 16px Courier"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;There is a world without  Chagas disease in the century of 2009-2109.

Somos los sucesores de quienes nos dieron la posibilidad de hacer algo por los hermanos que día a día enferman de mal de Chagas, independientemente de su status o nivel social.   Mal de Chagas, ya no es una enfermedad de la pobreza, porque no excluye a personas de países no endémicos, como Japón, España, U.S. etc..&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"  style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; line-height: normal;font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;No podemos “legar” a las próximas generaciones otro siglo con Mal de Chagas, escudados en el hecho que, en un mundo globalizado con economía de mercado, "las enfermedades tropicales no son mercado oportuno para los laboratorios ni para las empresas de investigación y desarrollo de fórmulas pesticidas para la salud pública", como tanto se repite desde hace décadas.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" face="trebuchet ms" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; line-height: normal;"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;ChaDA Promueve un Nuevo Paradigma.  Para crear Prevención, necesitamos dejar de crear "enfermedades &lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;olvidadas&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;" y controlar y prevenir "enfermedades tropicales" (ya no más enfermedades tropicales olvidadas o desatendidas).  Mal de Chagas, como otras enfermedades tropicales, pueden ser prevenidas con un esfuerzo intersectorial.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="ES-AR"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;Nuestro pedido de perdón y agradecimiento, fundado en la unidad que somos todos, a aquellos hermanos que padeciendo este flagelo “sin cura definitiva por el momento”,  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;pero con prevención posible&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;, nos dan la oportunidad de ser mas conscientes, mas cívicos y mas humanos, individual y colectivamente.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="ES-AR"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;Hay una América sin Mal de Chagas en el siglo 2009-2109.  Y no depende,  únicamente, de la acción política de los gobiernos de turno, ni de las consultas y apoyo técnicos de instituciones globales de la salud.  Depende de todos.  Mientras como sociedad, no asumamos las obligaciones que tenemos cada uno desde su rol y quehacer, construiremos mas males desatendidos, más enfermedades olvidadas..&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; line-height: normal; "&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" face="trebuchet ms" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; line-height: normal; font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;Nuestros Valores:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"  style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; line-height: normal; color: rgb(255, 102, 0); font-weight: bold; font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;El Derecho a la Salud para todas las personas por igual&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"  style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; line-height: normal; color: rgb(255, 102, 0); font-weight: bold; font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;El Comportamiento ético&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"  style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; line-height: normal; color: rgb(255, 102, 0); font-weight: bold; font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;El respeto por las Personas&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"  style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; line-height: normal; color: rgb(255, 102, 0); font-weight: bold; font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;El Trabajo en Equipo&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" face="trebuchet ms" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; line-height: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; "&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;El Valor de la Perseverancia y del Esfuerzo.
