Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Neglected tropical diseases are a group of diseases that affect over one billion people worldwide and cause illness, disability, and mortality. To accelerate the progress towards global elimination, the World Health Organization launched “Ending the neglect to attain the Sustainable Development Goals: a road map for neglected tropical diseases 2021–2030” in early 2021. However, this roadmap was greatly hindered by the global COVID-19 pandemic, and there are currently still multiple challenges to the global elimination/eradication of neglected tropical diseases, despite the great strides achieved. Recently, a diverse variety of novel tools were introduced into the management of neglected tropical diseases, including artificial intelligence, nucleic acid tests, and next-generation sequencing. In addition, the One Health concept is widely accepted as a multidisciplinary approach to tacking the challenge of neglected tropical diseases. This Special Issue aims to publish research and review articles presenting advances in the epidemiology of neglected tropical diseases.
