被忽视的热带病一词描述了一组影响生活贫困人口的不同疾病，是世界范围内发病率和死亡率的重要原因。控制NTD的全球方案使制药公司的大规模捐款受益。一些NTD有国际商定的控制、消除和根除目标。根除的定义是将全世界的感染率永久性地降至零。消除的定义是将特定地理区域的感染率降至零。在消除和根除某些NTD方面取得了相当大的进展，但出现了意想不到的新挑战，威胁到这些目标的最终实现。
The term neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) describes a disparate group of diseases which affect populations living in poverty and are important causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Global programmes for the control of NTDs benefit large-scale donations made by pharmaceutical companies. A number of NTDs have internationally agreed targets for their control, elimination and eradication. Eradication is defined as the permanent reduction to zero of the worldwide incidence of infection. Elimination is defined as the reduction to zero of the incidence of infection in a specified geographic area. Considerable progress has been made towards elimination and eradication of some NTDs but unexpected new challenges have emerged which threaten the eventual achievement of these goals.
