TROPICAL PARASITIC DISEASE: A GLOBAL HEALTH ISSUE

Abstract

In tropical and subtropical climates, where they disproportionately impact vulnerable communities, tropical parasite diseases pose a serious threat to world health. This study offers a thorough examination of the epidemiology, transmission, symptoms, and management approaches of the main tropical parasitic diseases, such as human African trypanosomiasis, schistosomiasis, and malaria. While current concerns like urbanisation, globalisation, and climate change are examined for their effects on disease prevalence, historical viewpoints emphasise the development of our knowledge and management of these illnesses. The study emphasises the critical need for precise diagnosis and efficient treatment in the fight against chronic illnesses, which nevertheless endanger public health, worsen poverty, and maintain social injustices. By supporting international efforts to prevent, treat, and eventually eradicate tropical parasite diseases, this research seeks to advance health equity and well-being for everyone by aligning with the Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations.
