Countries Map and List

Map of LF Endemic Countries
An estimated 1.3 billion people around the world are at risk of LF infection, and more than 120 million are infected. Countries where LF is found are mostly in the tropical and sub-tropical regions of the world. They also are among the world’s poorest countries, as LF is closely linked to poor sanitation and poor housing quality.

The effort to eliminate LF is organized at a regional level into 6 Regional Programme Review Groups (RPRGs), which review national plans, review applications for drug donations, provide technical guidance and identify operational research issues. You can click on each of them for more information about regional activities and contacts.
