Neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) are a diverse group of tropical infections that are prevalent in developing regions of Africa, Asia, and the Americas. These diseases are caused by various types of pathogens that include parasitic worms like helminthes, protozoa, viruses and bacteria. There are several types of NTDs including buruli ulcer, Chagas disease, cysticercosis, dengue fever, echinococcosis, fascioliasis, etc. These diseases are most common in tropical areas, where people do not have access to clean water or safe ways to dispose human waste. There are several preventive measures to control and eradicate NTDs, such as by controlling the vectors like mosquitoes and black flies.
