Carlos Chagas

Carlos Ribeiro Justiniano das Chagas (Oliveira, 9 de julho de 1878 – Rio de Janeiro, 8 de novembro de 1934) foi um cientista, médico sanitarista, infectologista e bacteriologista brasileiro, que trabalhou como clínico, professor e pesquisador. Atuante na saúde pública do Brasil, iniciou sua carreira no combate à malária. Destacou-se ao descobrir o protozoário Trypanosoma cruzi (cujo nome foi uma homenagem ao seu amigo Oswaldo Cruz) e a tripanossomíase americana, conhecida como doença de Chagas. Ele foi o primeiro e até os dias atuais permanece o único cientista na história da medicina a descrever completamente uma doença infecciosa: o patógeno, o vetor (Triatominae), os hospedeiros, as manifestações clínicas e a epidemiologia.
