American trypanosoniasis or Chagas' Disease is a serious health problem in Latin America. Schizotrypanum (Trypanosome) cruzi infection produce an inmune response, cellular and humoral well identified in all mammals so far studied, including man. The initial parasistemic disease is brought promptly under control, maybe as result of such inmune response. Chronical disease result of individual responses, through inmune aberration as main pathogenic factor. There is not, and there is no probability to develop it in a short time, suitable inmunoprophylaxis for Chagas' disease.
美洲锥虫病或恰加斯病是拉丁美洲一个严重的健康问题。克氏锥虫（锥虫属）感染会引发免疫反应，在包括人类在内的目前所有已研究的哺乳动物中，都能明确识别出细胞免疫和体液免疫。最初的寄生虫血症疾病可能由于这种免疫反应而迅速得到控制。慢性疾病是个体反应的结果，主要致病因素是免疫异常。目前没有针对恰加斯病的合适免疫预防措施，而且在短时间内也不太可能研发出来。
