In 2023, 10.5 million people were living with Chagas disease, a neglected tropical disease primarily transmitted by infected insects. There was a 16% decrease in prevalent cases since 1990 and a 55% drop in the global age-standardized prevalence rate, according to research using Global Burden of Disease 2023 study data. We discuss this study with IHME Acting Assistant Professor Dr. Ewerton Cousin.
