Overview:

Neglected infections of poverty are a group of parasitic, bacterial, and viral infections that disproportionately affect impoverished groups in the United States, and lead to illness in a significant number of individuals in vulnerable populations. These infections are often not well studied or tracked; thereby impacting diagnosis, treatment, and prevention.  During this call, a CDC subject matter expert will describe the epidemiology, diagnosis, and treatment of 3 neglected infections of poverty - Chagas Disease, Toxocariasis, and Trichomoniasis.
