June is PTSD Awareness Month
The National Center for PTSD promotes awareness of PTSD and effective treatments throughout the year. Starting in 2010, Congress named
June 27th PTSD Awareness Day (S. Res. 455). Since then, during the month of June, we ask everyone to help us raise PTSD awareness.
The purpose of PTSD Awareness Month is to encourage everyone to raise public awareness of PTSD and its effective treatments so that everyone
can help people affected by PTSD.

LifeScience Moment: An international team of scientists decoded genome of Chagas disease
On June 4, 2012, an international team of scientists decoded genome of Chagas disease.
Previously, scientists had only decoded the genome of the Chagas parasite, Trypanosoma cruzi.
The work took almost a decade and involved 30 researchers from Argentina, Brazil, Canada,
the U.S. and Uruguay, and was funded by the National Institutes of Health.
Chagas disease is named after the Brazilian physician Carlos Chagas, who discovered the disease in 1909.
It is caused by the parasite Trypanosoma cruzi, which is transmitted to animals and
people by insect vectors and is found only in the Americas. Because they tend to bite people’s faces,
triatomine bugs are also known as “kissing bugs”.
