Advances in Parasitic Neglected Tropical Diseases

Dear Colleagues,

Neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) are caused by a variety of pathogens (including viruses, bacteria, parasites, fungi and toxins) and are associated with devastating health, social and economic consequences. Diseases caused by parasites account for a large proportion of NTDs and are a serious threat to humans, especially in low- and middle-income countries. For this Special Issue, we invite scholars to discuss the future development of parasitic neglected tropical diseases in regard to parasite/host interaction, disease diagnosis, drug treatment, prevention, control, monitoring and epidemiology. One Health perspectives on the topic are also welcomed.

Dr. Monica Botelho
