Sumario:Several websites containing keywords such as “Chagas” and “Chagas + Education” were analyzed, in order to identify and assess the websites which provide information about Chagas disease, as well as resources and materials related to education. A number of different criteria were used - authorship, contents, educational inputs and interactivity - to enable the assessment of different websites. According to the results obtained in this work, there are many websites that provide access to certain type of information on Chagas disease.
