520 _aThis fully updated and expanded second edition provides an overview of the major neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) occurring in sub-Saharan Africa, such as leishmaniasis, buruli ulcer, schistosomiasis and many more. The well-structured chapters explore in detail the epidemiology and biology of these parasitic diseases. Diagnostic and therapeutic approaches as well as prevention strategies are also reviewed. Furthermore, the book discusses the burden of disease in sub-Saharan Africa, taking into account the social and economic impact on the region and its health system. The book is aimed at researchers, advanced students and clinicians working on infectious diseases, tropical medicine and parasitology, and is a must-read for scientists specialising in the particularities of the sub-Saharan region.
