Frontiers in Tropical Diseases is delighted to be launching this exciting Research Topic to highlight World Neglected Tropical Disease Day on the 30th January 2022. World NTD Day offers the opportunity to mobilize greater attention, action and investment to help reduce the burden of NTD’s, particularly in the countries and communities most directly affected. As part of our journal’s mission to address intervention strategies for their treatment, control and elimination, the theme of this research topic is ‘Diagnostics for Neglected Tropical Diseases’.
Specific themes of interest:
• Advances and availability of effective, standardized, affordable diagnostics for timely detection, assessment of end-points and surveillance
• Advances and availability of point-of-care diagnostics (where appropriate) usable at a community level and in low-resource settings
• Advances in the development of strategies to identify and characterize candidate biomarkers for new diagnostic tests
• Advances in the development of strategies to introduce new diagnostic tools into the programmatic context
Led by an expert team of specialists, this Research Topic will accept manuscripts within these areas of research, with the aim of giving the reader an overview of the latest discoveries and new findings, analysis of previously published data, new opinions and perspectives, and methods and protocols (when relevant). For that reason, all article types accepted by Frontiers are encouraged.
