Agreed, and besides the broader point, considering this is a writing style guide, is to avoid ambiguous/awkward statements altogether. If this sentence was describing places you shouldn’t visit as an example, a bullet point list would probably be more appropriate. So in a more context-appropriate example this would probably be rephrased as This disease is found in the following areas: * Jamaica * Antigua and Barbuda * Turks and Caicos Now I’m not arguing if this particular style guide is a good idea or not - but I can see why you might want to avoid the original statement which was quite hard to parse with confidence.
