I did my term paper on Chagas Disease in veterinary school back in 1981 and warned that if the bug were to move North veterinarians were going to have to look closer at hematological samples for the parasites because the disease affects dogs also. The epidemiological map then suggested that the disease and the kissing bugs were moving North even then without the help of the illegal immigrants. One could have predicted this back then as we did the Venezuelan Equine Encephalitis disease as a model back in 1971.
