No — the CDC has not declared Chagas disease a pandemic in the United States.
Here’s the situation:
• In the U.S., most cases of Chagas are found in people who were infected in Latin America before moving here.
• Local transmission by kissing bugs in the U.S. is considered very rare.
• The CDC treats Chagas as a neglected parasitic infection (NPI) — a health concern, but not widespread enough to be classified as an epidemic or pandemic.
