Visiongain has launched a new pharma report Global Treatment for Neglected Tropical Disease Market 2017-2027: Malaria, Dengue, Leishmaniasis, Schistosomiasis, Lymphatic Filariasis, Chagas Disease

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), one hundred percent of low-income countries are affected by at least five neglected tropical diseases simultaneously. Worldwide, 149 countries and territories are affected by at least one neglected tropical disease (NTD). The disease burden, however, is not restricted to these areas since vectors and parasites can often spread to other regions via travellers or cargo. Every year, malaria alone results in one to three million deaths out of approximately half a billion cases, while many more go undetected or undiagnosed.

The lead analyst of the report commented “The treatment for neglected tropical disease market is set to experience considerable growth over the next decade. The main growth drivers include, rising awareness towards neglected tropical disease, increasing prevalence of neglected disease such as malaria and dengue as well as increasing governments’ initiatives.

There are still gaps that need to be met. Improved diagnostics for neglected tropical diseases for example, are essential for guiding treatment strategies at different thresholds of control, interruption of transmission, elimination and post-elimination surveillance.”

Leading companies featured in the report include Pfizer, Inc., Bayer, GlaxoSmithKline plc, Merck & Co., Inc., Novartis International AG, Takeda Pharmaceutical Company Ltd, Sanofi S.A. and Eisai Co., Ltd.
