GALAZ VALDERRAMA, Caterine; AVARIA SAAVEDRA, Andrea  and  SILVA DITTBORN, Claudia. Advances and limitations in research about Migration and Chagas social factors. Rev Hum Med [online]. 2021, vol.21, n.2, pp. 597-614.  Epub Aug 28, 2021. ISSN 1727-8120.

This article presents the results of a systematic bibliographic review in relation to the latest academic research on Chagas disease, the migrant population, and social determinants. By means of an analysis of thematic categorical content, the results reveal a predominant biomedical vision focused on health control and educational strategies for groups with Chagas disease over that which considers social determinants as factors that affect the Chagas transmission in migrants. From an intersectional perspective, the article proposes to make the way of understanding Chagas more complex, combining a multidimensional perspective and a transdisciplinary approach, which considers different axes and inequality factors that can influence the experiences of people with Chagas, but also critically considers discourses and practices in the field of health.

Keywords : chagas disease; migration; social inequity; social determinants of health; intersectionality.
