Tropical Infectious Diseases
Tropical infectious diseases are illnesses that originate in the tropics, and which can be spread to people living in other parts of the world. These diseases include malaria, dengue, yellow fever, and chikungunya, among many others. Tropical infectious diseases can be disabling or deadly, and can have significant economic and social implications for countries around the world. In order to prevent, diagnose, and treat these diseases, research into their causes, effects, and treatment options is essential. Improved hygiene, access to clean water and sanitation, and vector control measures are important for reducing the burden of tropical infectious diseases, and for protecting those living in and travelling to the tropics.
