Use of a novel chagas urine nanoparticle test (chunap) for diagnosis of congenital chagas disease.
<h4>Background</h4>Detection of congenital T. cruzi transmission is considered one of the pillars of control programs of Chagas disease. Congenital transmission accounts for 25% of new infections with an estimated 15,000 infected infants per year. Current programs to detect congenital Ch...
