Why's the tropical disease program "neglected"? Seems to me it'd be pretty popular... : )
ReplyDeleteSee Ar Oh probably is truth in that mantra since probably outside DOD a disproportionate low level of funding and academic/pharmaceutical in Western countries relative to other disease areas as opposed to the global population impact of tropical diseases. Ebola was neglected until was seen as posing danger on a bigger scale. The issue of reliance on 3rd world countries paying for the R&D much less any drugs that result currently requires government and charity so except for occasional orphan type projects what private organization would devote the necessary resources
