A man undergoes a medical examination to prevent Chagas disease in the Argentine province of Corrientes in this picture taken September 16, 2008. Poverty-related diseases such as Chagas, rabies and yellow fever are making a comeback in Argentina because prevention campaigns cut during a deep economic crisis seven years ago have still not recovered. Chagas disease, caused by a tropical parasite, is endemic to Argentina and is commonly caused by an insect that lives in homes made of flimsy materials in rural parts of the north.
