Chagas disease, caused by Trypanosoma cruzi, can lead to heart and digestive issues. While common in South America, kissing bugs are also found in the southern USA, including two species native to North Carolina. Information was analyzed on kissing bug collection dates and locations, along with temperature data from the National Weather Service. PCR testing on 14 bugs found four positive for T. cruzi, indicating potential transmission in North Carolina. Given heart disease is a leading cause of death in the state, Chagas disease should be considered in cardiovascular diagnoses, emphasizing the need for surveillance.
