Answer 1

Countries located in Equatorial regions are more likely to have incidents of typhoid fever.

Step-by-step explanation:

Typhoid fever is a disease that can be very dangerous for the human population. It manages to spread out easily and can have serious implications for health. What's even worse is that this disease occurs in regions that don't have a good healthcare system.

Typhoid fever occurs in regions that are close to the Equator. These regions, with their high temperature all year round offer good conditions for this disease. With the people living in poor conditions in most of these regions and lacking good healthcare and medication, it is not hard for an outbreak of typhoid fever to occur and cause huge damage to the population.
