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. 410 0$aNeglected Tropical Diseases,$x2194-8275 606 $aParasitology 606 $aInfectious diseases 606 $aTropical medicine 606 $aMedical microbiology 606 $aEpidemiology 606 $aParasitology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/B19002 606 $aInfectious Diseases$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/H33096 606 $aTropical Medicine$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/H61006 606 $aMedical Microbiology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/B16003 606 $aEpidemiology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/H63000 615 0$aParasitology. 615 0$aInfectious diseases. 615 0$aTropical medicine. 615 0$aMedical microbiology. 615 0$aEpidemiology. 615 14$aParasitology. 615 24$aInfectious Diseases. 615 24$aTropical Medicine. 615 24$aMedical Microbiology. 615 24$aEpidemiology. 676 $a616.9883 702 $aFranco-Paredes$b Carlos$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aSantos-Preciado$b José Ignacio$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910298277803321 996 $aNeglected Tropical Diseases - Latin America and the Caribbean$92502121 997 $aUNINA
