14â16 The neuronal loss in Chagas heart disease has been postulatedto occur predominantly during the acute phase of the infec-tion, with participation of 3 mechanisms: direct parasitism ofneurons, degeneration caused by periganglionic inflamma-tion, and antineuronal autoimmune reaction.nly inthe late 1940s, through improved specific serological tests todetect antibodies against T cruzi, the clinical syndromes ofmegaesophagus, megacolon, and heart failure, by then ofunknown cause, were ascribed to Chagas disease, and the firstreport of cardiac neuronal damage appeared in the literature.
In dogs, the infection can be deadly, as it will affect the heart and the smooth muscles. Detecting early symptoms is essential to apply treatment in a timely manner. Causes of Chagas Disease. Chagas disease in dogs is caused by the presence of a parasite that typically reaches the blood flow through insect bites.
