Submission status
Closed
This special issue of Tropical Medicine and Health aims to draw attention towards tropical health problems. Two third of world’s population live in tropical and subtropical areas of Africa, Asia, and Latin America. Many of those people live in absolute poverty, surrounded by dozens of diseases. Some of which are properly tackled, while others are neglected. Tropical health encompasses a diverse group of issues related to infectious diseases (viral, bacterial, parasitic and fungal infections), non-communicable diseases and malnutrition with its consequences. The magnitude of these problems is anticipated to increase with expansion to more and more countries, which could be attributed to growing number of populations with decreased resources, globalization, climatic changes, wars, collapse of control programs in some countries and the emergence of drug resistance.
