This two-volume book provides an in-depth exploration of neglected tropical diseases (NTDs), a group of diseases that affect over one billion people worldwide, particularly in impoverished regions. It examines the epidemiology, pathology, and treatment challenges associated with these diseases, as well as the latest research and future directions for their control. Volume 1 covers bacterial and viral diseases and is divided into two parts. Part I examines bacterial diseases including leprosy, tuberculosis, and cholera, followed by Part II, which covers viral diseases such as rabies, HIV, and Ebola. Expert contributors present the latest research and innovative approaches to prevention and treatment. Readers will gain insights into the socioeconomic impacts, public health challenges, and emerging trends in the field. The book provides a valuable resource for health agencies, pharmaceutical companies, research institutes, and academic institutions. It also helps physicians, students, and researchers seeking to deepen their understanding of NTDs and contribute to global health efforts. With its structured organization and expert analysis, this volume serves as a quick reference guide for those working in the field of neglected tropical diseases.
