Funded Activity Summary

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.
