Digging deeper, she discovered more than three hundred thousand Americans have Chagas-- or the kissing bug disease. Why do some infectious diseases make headlines and others fall by the wayside? Hernández interviews patients, epidemiologists, and even veterinarians with the Department of Defense. Outside of Latin America, the United States is the only country with the native insects that carry the Chagas parasite. Hernández show how poverty, racism, and public policies have conspired to keep this disease hidden. -- adapted from jacket   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hanapepe Public Library Adult Nonfiction 616.9363 He Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hawaii Kai Public Library Adult Nonfiction 616.9363 He Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Business, Science & Technology 616.9363 He Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 616.9363 Hernandez Checked In Add Copy to MyList CLOSED TEMPORARILY: Honokaa Public Library Adult Nonfiction 616.9363 Hernandez Checked In Add Copy to MyList Makawao Public Library Adult Nonfiction 616.9363 He Checked In Add Copy to MyList Waipahu Public Library Adult Nonfiction 616.9363 He Checked In Add Copy to MyList
