Control of neglected tropical diseases: integrated chemotherapy and beyond

Jürg Utzinger et al. PLoS Med. 2006 Jan.

Abstract

Utzinger and de Savigny discuss the implications of a new policy paper, which argues that the control of "the big three" diseases (HIV, TB, and malaria) should be integrated with control of the neglected tropical diseases.
