This paper is a short review of the discovery of Chagas disease and the current information of the epidemiological and clinical aspects of the disease observed in Peru. With the discovery of Trypanosoma cruzi in the blood of a child in 1909, the isolation of the etiologic agent in experimental animals and the finding of similar parasites in the intestinal content of triatomines, Carlos Chagas determined the parasite's life cycle and, clinical symptoms of this new entity designated as Chagas disease. Eight years after Dr Carlos Chagas discovery (1917), Dr. Edmundo Escomel born in Arequipa, reported the presence of Triatoma infestans in the valleys of Arequipa department and after two years the first human case of Chagas disease from Madre de Dios. In Peru, have been described 19 species of triatomines, and several studies show guinea pig "cuy" as the most important reservoir of the parasite. The endemic areas are present in the south, north and northeast, mainly the Amazonian area. Recently, Tacna has been declared free of vectorial transmission and we hope others parts of the country could receive similar certification. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Neem's tree has been studied from the chemical point of view since it provides more than 300 chemical compounds. Its oil can be transformed in biodiesel. One of its main properties is bioinsecticide activity. Since it has larvicidal activity it might be used to control the vector of fastidiousness. As it was proved that kills the parasite which produces Chagas disease, it appears as a promissory tree to use it for productive and social objectives in our country. The aim of the present paper was to delimit the capable zone for culturing of this specie, giving special emphasis to marginal areas. For that it was worked with bioclimatic necessities and biophysical limits of the species and climate data of Argentina for period 1961-2000. The overlapping of layers containing information about the spatial variability of bioclimatic indexes allowed us to obtain the map of agroclimatic aptitude for the Neem. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
