ABSTRACT

Chagas disease (CD) is a vector-borne parasitic disease endemic to Latin America. The US has established populations of vectors, parasites, and animal hosts, but because of the low frequency of locally acquired human infections CD is not classified as endemic there. I present a narrative review of the literature of autochthonous cases of CD in the US and analyze it with a co-productionist framework focused on material politics. I underscore the need for an ethnographic approach to the category of endemicity as not only an issue of knowledge and evidence but also as a practiced condition infused with power.

（非）地方性的政治：美国的恰加斯病

摘要

恰加斯病 (CD) 是拉丁美洲地方病的一种媒介传播的寄生虫病。美国已经建立了媒介、寄生虫和动物宿主的种群，但由于本地获得的人类感染频率较低，因此 CD 未被归类为地方性流行病。我对美国本土 CD 案例的文献进行了叙述性回顾，并用专注于物质政治的联合生产主义框架对其进行了分析。我强调需要对地方性类别采取人种学方法，不仅是知识和证据的问题，而且是充满权力的实践条件。
