In conversation with Dr. Dr. Carsten Köhler, Director of the Competence Center for Tropical Medicine at the University of Tübingen, and Prof. Achim Hörauf, University of Bonn and spokesperson for the German Network against Neglected Tropical Diseases*
1.7 billion people worldwide are at risk from neglected tropical diseases (NTDs). And although one would expect NTDs to be found in faraway countries, the danger is getting closer and closer. Even in Europe, outside their actual areas of origin, isolated outbreaks of NTDs have recently been recorded.
Together with our two guest experts Dr. Dr. Carsten Köhler, Director of the Competence Center and Head of the Global Health Focus Group at the University of Tübingen, and Prof. Achim Hörauf, Director of the Institute of Medical Microbiology, Immunology and Parasitology at the University of Bonn and spokesperson for the German Network against Neglected Tropical Diseases, we shed light on the occasion of World Day against Neglected Tropical Diseases: What are NTDs and where are they found? Why does it affect me? How can the danger be countered in the future and how can I protect myself as an individual?
