Neglected and Emerging Tropical Diseases
A section of Tropical Medicine and Infectious Disease (ISSN 2414-6366).
Section Information
The aim of the Neglected and Emerging Tropical Diseases (NETD) Section of the Journal is to provide academic and medical communities with open access to publications on the progress in studies of the recognized neglected and emerging tropical diseases and development of primarily novel agents targeting their etiological agents. Contributions may concern studies of biochemistry, cell and molecular biology or life cycles, as well as the clinical and pre-clinical studies of the new agents developed against the organisms causing NETDs.
