Neglected Tropical Diseases
Podcast: Health WantedPublished On: Fri Feb 21 2025
Description: Neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) are a group of conditions that disproportionately impact low-income countries and receive insufficient attention and resources from around the world. This week on Health Wanted, host Laurel Bristow and guest Jessica Fairley, MD, explore some of the most common NTDs and how the U.S. benefits from contributing to their research and prevention. In the Q&A, Bristow addresses questions about the CDC's "Disease Detectives" and the EIS, current measles outbreaks, supplements, aluminum in deodorant, and creatine sets up the Sick of the Week.
