Tropical and Neglected Infectious Diseases
Tropical and neglected infectious diseases primarily affect populations in low-income and tropical regions. These illnesses such as dengue, leishmaniasis, and chikungunya often persist due to limited healthcare access, environmental risks, and inadequate disease prevention resources. Their impact on communities includes chronic illnesses, disability, and economic burden.
Addressing these diseases requires targeted public health measures, improved diagnostics, vector control strategies, and expanded access to treatments. Global initiatives aim to reduce disease transmission, support eradication efforts, and strengthen health systems in vulnerable areas. Continuous research and community engagement remain central to managing neglected diseases.
- Common in tropical regions.
- Limited access increases disease burden.
- Needs vector control and better diagnostics.
- Affects vulnerable populations.
