PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases: Nuclear Weapons and Neglected Diseases: The “Ten-Thousand-to-One Gap”

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases: Nuclear Weapons and Neglected Diseases: The “Ten-Thousand-to-One Gap”

This editorial puts into numbers and perspective what the NTD community has been advocating for for many years.

One particularly interesting point: of all the Nuclear Nations only 1 (UK) does not suffer from NTDs. The article points out that there are NTDs in the US, for instance.

The editorial is worth a read, if for no other reason than to become more familiar with NTDs.
