Links between the Epidemiology and Control of Non-Communicable Diseases and Neglected Tropical Diseases in Asia. 330 $aNeglected tropical diseases (NTDs) are a group of diseases frequently found in impoverished communities in tropical and sub-tropical countries. The risk for many of the NTDs is high in both deprived urban and rural areas of East Asia. Adapted to the endemic settings and characteristics of the diseases, a range of tools and strategies are currently being rolled out for the large-scale control of many NTDs. Both vector control measures and community sensitization programmes have for example been used to control dengue in urbanized settings. Challenges posed by yaws and lymphatic filariasis are being addressed by mass drug administration, while rabies requires the involvement of the veterinary public health sector for disease control. For leprosy, an elimination target has been defined; however, achieving this goal remains a considerable challenge. Food-borne trematodiases, on the other hand, are emerging and require a deeper understanding of its burden in East Asia and how these diseases can be tackled in a cost-effective manner. Finally, factors, such as an increase of non-communicable diseases due to changing lifestyles which accompany economic growth, the spreading HIV epidemic as well as climate change and the occurrence of natural disasters can potentially affect the epidemiology and control of NTDs. This volume discusses the mentioned topics in detail with contributions by experts in the respective research areas from different working environments. 410 0$aNeglected Tropical Diseases,$x2194-8275 606 $aParasitology 606 $aInfectious diseases 606 $aTropical medicine 606 $aMedical microbiology 606 $aPublic health 606 $aNeglected Diseases 606 $aParasitic Diseases 606 $aTropical Medicine 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 $aPublic Health$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/H27002 607 $aFar East 615 0$aParasitology. 615 0$aInfectious diseases. 615 0$aTropical medicine. 615 0$aMedical microbiology. 615 0$aPublic health. 615 12$aNeglected Diseases. 615 22$aParasitic Diseases. 615 22$aTropical Medicine. 615 14$aParasitology. 615 24$aInfectious Diseases. 615 24$aTropical Medicine. 615 24$aMedical Microbiology. 615 24$aPublic Health. 676 $a616.9883 676 $a616.9883 702 $aUtzinger$b Jürg$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aYap$b Peiling$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aBratschi$b Martin$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aSteinmann$b Peter$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910337938803321 996 $aNeglected Tropical Diseases - East Asia$91935262 997 $aUNINA
