Neglected Tropical Diseases
Neglected Tropical Diseases: are viral, parasitic, and bacterial diseases that mainly affect the world's poorest people. Neglected tropical diseases (NTDs), such as dengue, lymphatic filariasis, trachoma, and leishmaniasis, are called "neglected," because they generally afflict the world's poor and historically have not received as much attention as other diseases.
