Do Assassin Bugs Carry Chagas Disease???

[Sarus Crane]

I came home and saw this Assassin Bug nymph (at least that's what I think it was) on my shirt sleeve. I knocked it into the sink and flushed it down the drain. While searching to identify the Assassin Bug I recently came across another species called the "Kissing Bug". These also have a similar appearance to the Assassin Bug and I just wanted to make sure that what was on me was an Assassin Bug nymph and not a Kissing Bug which it says online can carry Chagas disease. I don't think it was ever directly on my skin as I only saw it on my shirt sleeve before sending it down the drain. I got a shower immediately afterward. Sorry if I'm over-worrying. I don't know a lot about insects and what diseases they can transmit. I just learned that Assassin Bug stings can be painful and thankfully I wasn't bitten. I'm inserting the photos below. Thanks in advance!

Assasin bugs is a family (Reduviidae), divided in no less than 25 different subfamilies, carrying a total of about 7000 species.

Just a single genus of the hundreds of genus of assasin bugs, Triatoma, is who can carry the Chagas disease. Of this genus, most species are South American, and the North American ones (T. protracta, T. lecticularia, T. neotomae, T. rubrofasciata) are much less likely to transmit the disease.

Anyway, nymphs of Triatoma are flat and more short legged, and don't show the appareance of Reduviinae subfamily seen in your photo.
