Chagas disease is named after Carlos Chagas, a Brazilian sanitary physician, scientist, and bacteriologist. He discovered this disease (American trypanosomiasis) in 1909. He was also the first to illustrate the parasitic funal genus Pneumocystis. He named the parasites he discovered "Trypanosoma cruzi" after his colleague/friend Oswaldo Cruz. Chagas was born in 1879 and died in 1934.
