trypomastigotes

Explanation:

Trypanosoma cruzi is the protozoan that is responsible for causing the Chaga's disease. The disease spreads to human through the bite of infected triatomine bugs. The infective stage of the protozoan Trypanosoma cruzi is the trypomastigotes that are released in the feces of the infected vector. The infective stage then invades the cell's of the host and then differentiates into amastigotes and the cycle continues.
