Recent advances in tropical medicine.
[dracunculiasis]
There
have
been
significant
advances
in
both
the
classical
and
neglected
tropical
diseases
,
with
Guinea
worm
looking
set
to
be
the
next
disease
after
smallpox
to
be
eradicated
.
Aided
by
a
combination
of
enhanced
understanding
of
the
biology
of
the
pathogens
,
intensification
of
immunisation
activities
or
mass
drug
administration
,
together
with
the
development
of
synergies
with
control
programmes
for
co
-endemic
tropical
diseases
,
polio
,
lymphatic
filariasis
,
trachoma
and
onchocerciasis
all
appear
to
be
in
global
decline
,
with
good
prospects
for
eventual
successful
elimination
.
While
the
global
incidence
of
new
cases
of
leprosy
continues
to
decrease
,
the
focus
of
leprosy
control
efforts
has
shifted
following
more
widespread
recognition
that
cure
of
infection
does
not
necessarily
prevent
disability
.
Expansion
in
funding
for
HIV
/
AIDS
and
malaria
provides
some
grounds
for
optimism
about
the
control
of
these
diseases
.
However
,
ongoing
education
and
access
remain
essential
to
increasing
the
uptake
of
HIV
testing
and
decreasing
transmission
.
Meanwhile
,
the
rise
of
drug-resistant
tuberculosis
and
malaria
is
concerning
,
and
the
emergence
of
the
highly
pathogenic
avian
influenza
A
and
re
-emergence
of
viruses
such
as
chikungunya
and
West
Nile
virus
,
without
significant
recent
progress
in
vaccine
development
,
pose
additional
ongoing
challenges
to
tropical
medicine
physicians
worldwide
.
