Leishmania: an urgent need for new treatments
eBioMedicine
Abstract
Globally, more than one billion people are affected by neglected tropical diseases (NTDs). The control, treatment, and elimination of NTDs—which disproportionately affect those already living in poverty—is a crucial aspect of health equity. World NTD day, on Jan 30, 2023, provides an opportunity to reflect on the progress so far and the remaining unmet needs.
