  2. PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases • World’s first peer-reviewed, open-access journal devoted to the NTDs, launched October 2007 • Started with a grant from Gates Foundation • Research on clinical aspects, pathology, epidemiology, treatment, control, prevention and social issues • Magazine section devoted to policy, advocacy, and expert commentaries • International editorial board—40% of theAssociate Editors are from endemic countries • Coverage in Science, Nature, New Scientist, National Geographic, The New York Times, Economist, London Times, Wall Street Journal, Forbes, Wired, and others

  3. Neglected Tropical Diseases The NTDs are a group of poverty-promoting chronic infectious diseases, which primarily occur in rural areas and poor urban areas of low-income and middle-income countries. PLoS NTDs is devoted to the pathology, epidemiology, prevention, treatment and control of the NTDs, as well as public policy relevant to this group of diseases.

  4. PLoS NTDs Scope Protozoan infections (Amebiasis, Balantidiasis, Chagas Disease, Giardiasis, Human African Trypanosomiasis, Leishmaniasis) Helminth Infections [Taeniasis-Cysticercosis, Dracunculiasis, Echninococcosis, Food-borne Trematodiases, Loiasis, Lymphatic Filariasis, Onchocerciasis, Schistosomiasis, Soil-transmitted Helminthiases (Ascariasis, Hookworm Diseases, Trichuriasis, Strongyloidiasis), Toxocariasis and other Larva Migrans] Viral Infections (Dengue, Japanese encephalitis, Jungle yellow fever, other Arboviral infections, Rabies, Rift Valley fever, Viral hemorrhagic fevers) Bacterial Infections [Bartonella, Bovine Tuberculosis in Humans, Buruli Ulcer, Cholera, Enteric pathogens (Shigella, Salmonella, E. coli), Leprosy, Leptospirosis, Relapsing Fever, Trachoma, Treponematoses (Bejel, Pinta, Syphillis, Yaws)] Fungal Infections (Mycetoma, Paracoccidiomycosis) Ectoparasitic Infections (Scabies, Myiasis)

  5. All aspects of the NTDs will be considered • Pathogenesis • Clinical features • Pharmacology and treatment • Diagnosis • Epidemiology • Vector biology • Vaccinology and prevention • Demographic, ecological, and social determinants • Public-health and policy aspects
