Neglected Tropical Diseases - Latin America and the Caribbean
Neglected Tropical Diseases - Latin America and the Caribbean[electronic resource] /edited by Carlos Franco-Paredes, José Ignacio Santos-Preciado. - 1st ed. 2015. - VIII, 243 p. 52 illus., 42 illus. in color.online resource. - Neglected Tropical Diseases,2194-8275. - Neglected Tropical Diseases,.

The Neglected Tropical Diseases in Latin America and the Caribbean: Burden of Disease and Approaches for Elimination and Control -- Schistosomiasis in the Americas -- Chagas Disease -- Hookworm infection in Latin America and the Caribbean region -- Plasmodium vivax malaria in Latin America -- Leishmaniasis in the Americas -- Fascioliasis -- A roadmap followed: The path towards the elimination of onchocerciasis in Latin America -- Leprosy in the Americas: Burden of Disease and approaches for control/elimination -- Carrion’s Disease -- Dengue in Latin America: a persistent and growing public health challenge -- Cysticercosis disease burden in Latin America -- Histopathology of neglected tropical diseases.

This book addresses the major neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) – based on their prevalence and the years of healthy life lost to disability – in Latin American and Caribbean countries. These include Chagas disease, leishmaniasis, hookworm infection, and other soil-transmitted helminth infections, followed by dengue, schistosomiasis, leishmaniasis, leprosy, cysticercosis, bartonellosis, Plasmodium vivax malaria, and onchocerciasis. Topics like disease burden, major manifestations and approaches to the control and elimination of NTDs in Latin America and the Caribbean are discussed in detail. As such, the book will be of general interest to basic researchers and clinicians engaged in infectious disease, tropical medicine, and parasitology, and a must-have for scientists specialized in the characteristics of this region of the world.
