Product Description
Some of the most terrible tropical diseases in the world have too long been ignored. Parasitic and bacterial diseases such as hookworm, snail fever, river loss of sight, guinea worm, elephantiasis, sleeping sickness, and leprosy are the most common infections of third-world populations. These neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) represent one of the most vital reasons why populations living in Africa, Asia, and Central and South America remain caught in a vicious cycle of poverty, stigma, and despair.
With a lifetime devoted to the theme of tropical diseases, the well-known expert Dr. Peter Hotez provides a comprehensive view of these forgotten diseases. Written in accessible, undemanding language, Forgotten People, Forgotten Diseases painstakingly clarifies the most significant NTDs, including social and economic aspects, broadcast health concerns, and preventative measures.
This volume will raise broadcast awareness about these forgotten diseases and their enormous corporal, social, and economic expenditure to individuals and nations alike, and advocates for the largely voiceless victims living in remote and rural regions. Dr. Hotez also provides a roadmap to coordinate global promotion and mobilization of resources to combat these conditions. Finally, the book addresses unique opportunities to fight the NTDs through low-cost and highly cost-effective control measures.
