Caption

This map, produced with 2018 World Health Organization data, highlights the reported cases of Chagas Disease. While traditionally associated with Latin America, the disease has spread, silently invading new regions around the world. Note: Data covers only a limited portion of the globe, indicating underreporting and the potential for a significantly wider impact.
