Abstract
Chagas disease (CD) is a zoonotic parasitic disease caused by the protozoan parasite Trypanosoma cruzi. According to data from the World Health Organization (WHO), by 2022, there are 6 to 7 million people worldwide who are carriers of this pathology. Most CD carriers are located in Latin America, the endemic area of this disease. However, this statistic may be underestimated given that many people are asymptomatic throughout their lives. Currently, this pathology could spread outside its habitats or natural areas, as described above, due to climate change and globalization experienced in the modern world. In this diffusion article, environmental factors that promote climate change, as well as land use, are discussed, in addition to social factors such as the socioeconomic level and the migration of the endemic populations of CD, which could favor the mobility of the main vector of CHD. The foregoing results in an increase in cases and the massive spread of this disease. Likewise, examples of other vector-borne diseases such as Lyme disease, Dengue, or bubonic plague have been discussed that resulted in predictive models or forecast systems comparable to CD because they have experienced dissemination phenomena as a product of environmental and social changes.
