Sustainable Control and Elimination of Neglected Tropical Diseases in the Asia-Pacific [ 2015 - ]

Research Grant

Researchers: A/Pr Darren Gray (Principal investigator)

Brief description The neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) are of major public health importance. Parasitic worms are the most common infecting almost a third of the world’s population. Multi-component integrated intervention strategies will be required for sustainable control and elimination of NTDs in the Asia-Pacific. I will develop and lead the first Australian Centre for Population Health Research on NTDs that will undertake research into their epidemiology, control and elimination.
