Resumen
El control de las enfermedades tropicales desatendidas (ENT) es altamente rentable. Una mejor comprensión de su impacto económico es crucial para intervenciones equitativas y efectivas, aprovechando factores como medicamentos gratuitos y voluntarios comunitarios.
Área de la Ciencia:
- Salud Global La salud global.
- Economía de la salud Economía de la salud
- La Medicina Tropical es una medicina tropical.
Sus antecedentes:
- Las enfermedades tropicales desatendidas (ENT) imponen cargas económicas significativas a las personas, los hogares y las naciones.
- Las intervenciones rentables existentes requieren evaluaciones de impacto económico mejoradas para una orientación óptima.
Objetivo del estudio:
- Revisar los efectos sanitarios y económicos de las ETN.
- Presentar evidencia sobre los costos, la rentabilidad y la financiación de las estrategias de control de NTD.
- Explorar las economías de escala y el alcance en las intervenciones de IDT integradas.
Principales métodos:
- Revisión de la literatura de datos sobre la salud y los impactos económicos de las NTD.
- Análisis de los costos, la rentabilidad y la financiación de las estrategias de control.
- Exploración de los beneficios económicos de las intervenciones integradas a gran escala.
Principales resultados:
- Los programas de control de NTD se benefician de las donaciones farmacéuticas, la escala del programa, las sinergias de entrega y las contribuciones voluntarias de la comunidad.
- Las intervenciones integradas y a gran escala ofrecen potenciales economías de escala y alcance.

01:22American Trypanosomiasis
Chagas disease, or American trypanosomiasis, is a vector-borne parasitic infection caused by Trypanosoma cruzi, a flagellated protozoan (kinetoplastid) of the family Trypanosomatidae. The disease is endemic in Latin America, although cases are increasingly reported worldwide due to human migration. Transmission most commonly occurs when feces of infected triatomine bugs contaminate bite wounds or mucosal surfaces; additional routes include congenital, transfusional, transplant-related, and oral...
01:28Toxoplasmosis
Toxoplasmosis, a zoonotic disease caused by the protozoan Toxoplasma gondii, poses significant public health challenges globally due to its high seroprevalence and varied clinical manifestations. As an obligate intracellular parasite, T. gondii can infect all warm-blooded vertebrates, but felids are its only definitive hosts, shedding unsporulated oocysts into the environment. Humans typically acquire the infection through ingestion of tissue cysts in undercooked meat or oocysts from...
01:29Malaria
Malaria pathogenesis in humans reflects a delicate interplay between parasite biology and host response. Clinical illness reflects a host’s immune response to the parasite’s asexual replication cycle, which is often asymptomatic in individuals with partial immunity. From the parasite's perspective, transmission between mosquito and human with minimal host pathology is evolutionarily advantageous. Among the six Plasmodium species infecting humans, P. falciparum and P. vivax dominate in global...
01:28Fungal Phylum Microsporidia
Microsporidia are a group of obligate intracellular fungi that were initially classified as protists but were later reclassified based on phylogenetic, molecular, and structural evidence linking them to the Chytridiomycota. These unicellular, non-motile organisms are highly specialized parasites that infect a wide range of animal hosts, including humans. They have evolved extensive genomic and metabolic reductions, making them highly dependent on their hosts for survival.Morphology and Genomic...
01:26Methods Of Healthcare Delivery System
At the different levels of the healthcare system, we see varying methods of healthcare used. These methods include managed care systems, case management, and primary healthcare.
Managed Care System:
The managed care system is designed to control the cost while maintaining the quality of care. The patient's care from admission to discharge is planned by the primary care provider or the case manager, also known as the gatekeeper. In a managed care system, the number of care providers is limited...

01:29Pulmonary Tuberculosis I
Tuberculosis, often called TB, is a contagious illness primarily caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. It mainly affects the lung parenchyma but can also impact other body parts.
Causative Organism
The primary infectious agent causing tuberculosis is Mycobacterium tuberculosis, a slow-growing, acid-fast, aerobic rod that exhibits sensitivity to heat and ultraviolet light. Instances of Mycobacterium bovis and Mycobacterium avium contributing to the development of TB infection are rare.
