Resumen

La enfermedad de Chagas es una enfermedad tropical desatendida transmitida por el protozoo Trypanosoma cruzi que últimamente ha cobrado protagonismo porque se han producido varios brotes atribuidos a la transmisión oral del parásito. Estos brotes se caracterizan por sus altas tasas de mortalidad e infecciones masivas que no pueden relacionarse con otros tipos de transmisión como la vía vectorial. La transmisión oral de la enfermedad de Chagas ha sido reportada en Brasil, Colombia, Venezuela, Bolivia, Ecuador, Argentina y Guayana Francesa, la mayoría de ellos son brotes orales masivos causados por la ingestión de bebidas y alimentos contaminados con heces de triatominos o secreciones de reservorios del parásito y considerados desde 2012 como una enfermedad de transmisión alimentaria. En esta revisión, presentamos el estado actual y todos los datos disponibles sobre la transmisión oral de la enfermedad de Chagas, destacando su relevancia como zoonosis veterinaria y médica de transmisión alimentaria.
