In the developing world, people are commonly infected with a wide range of infections. These include worms in their guts, single celled parasites in their blood, as well as bacterial and virus infections. In the developing world, this burden of infection causes ill health; a large part of the poorer health and shorter lifespan of those in the developing world is due to these infections. People differ in the infections that they have: we want to know why this is the case. The work that we are proposing to develop will therefore try and work out what causes different people to have different infections. The study that we aim to undertake will, for the first time, look at all types of infections at once. To do this we need to establish a team of experts with different, yet complementary, expertise. In the first step that we are prosing now, we will assemble this team of experts. We will then plan in detail how and where we will undertake this study.

在发展中国家，人们通常感染多种传染病。这些疾病包括肠道中的蠕虫，血液中的单细胞寄生虫，以及细菌和病毒感染。在发展中国家，这种感染负担导致健康不良；在发展中国家，健康状况较差和寿命较短的很大一部分原因是这些感染。不同的人感染的情况不同：我们想知道为什么会这样。因此，我们提议开展的工作将试图找出导致不同人感染不同疾病的原因。我们打算进行的这项研究将首次同时考察所有类型的感染。要做到这一点，我们需要建立一支拥有不同但互补的专业知识的专家团队。在我们现在所说的第一步，我们将组建这个专家团队。然后，我们将详细计划如何以及在哪里进行这项研究。
