520			_aFUTURE RESEARCH: Use of antiparasitics during chronic chagas disease should be further explored. Additionally, future research identifying other markers of infection would be valuable to defining cure from infection. Copyright © 2024.

520			_aPURPOSE OF REVIEW: This review seeks to describe the updates in the literature - particularly with regards to the epidemiology and diagnosis of Chagas disease. Additionally, this paper describes updates to the antiparasitic treatment for Chagas disease.
520			_aRECENT FINDINGS: With regards to changing epidemiology, autochthonous cases are being found within the USA in addition to Latin America. Additionally, there appears to be more intermixing of discrete typing units-meaning, they are not confined to specific geographic regions. Screening for Chagas disease is recommended in persons who lived in areas with endemic Chagas, persons wtih family member diagnosed with Chagas Disease, persons who have lived in homes of natural material in Latin America, and persons with history of kissing bug bites. Treatment for the parasitic infection remains limited to benznidazole and nifurtimox, and the role of these treatments in Chagas cardiomyopathy has not yet been definitively defined. Finally, indications for and management of heart transplant in the setting of Chagas disease are discussed.
