From an epidemiological point of view, various factors in the evolutionary process had an influence on Chagas disease in the province of Tucumán (Argentine Republic). These factors include the influences generated by the technologies applied in the agricultural exploitation, the logging of the forest, in search of the increase of the cultivation areas and in search of greater productivity, unemployment, human migrations and among them the of those infected by chagasic trypanosomiasis with its consequences: urbanization of the disease. The natural circumstances and the action of man locate the disease. They are dynamic and sometimes very rapid changes, detectable throughout the continent, co-responsible for the appearance of new outbreaks or the disappearance of others. This article is a review of what happened in the province of Tucumán (Argentina), regarding the influences of agricultural exploitation technologies towards the end of the 20th century and beginning of this century, and how they impacted on epidemiological aspects of the Chagas disease.

Keywords : Chagas disease; Chagasic infection; Statistics; Human migrations; Urbanization; Agricultural technologies.
