Epidemiology and Demographics

It is thought to affect 30–100 million people worldwide, mainly in tropical and subtropical countries.

Tropical and subtropical areas, but cases also occur in temperate areas (including the South of the United States). More frequently found in rural areas, institutional settings, and lower socioeconomic groups. [1]

This infection is uncommon in the United States. Most cases seen in North America are brought by travelers who have visited or lived in South America or Africa.
