摘要
The term neglected tropical diseases(NTDs)was coined about 15 years ago because this group of diseases is predominantly endemic in tropical and subtropical areas and neglected in research and control compared to HIV/AIDS,tuberculosis,and malaria(1–2).Thus,compared to the early establishment of World Days for“the big three diseases”,namely HIV/AIDS,tuberculosis,and malaria in 1988,1995,and 2007,respectively,Jan 30,2020 has just designated as the first World NTDs Day with the slogan of“Beat NTDs:For good.For all”(3).
