Tropical diseases create a significant human and economic burden worldwide - particularly in resource-poor settings. Around half of the world's population is at risk of malaria. In Australia, Streptococcal and parasitic worm infections are particularly common in indigenous communities. This Program brings together leading experts to tackle these major health challenges. They are investigating how the body reacts to infection and creating new drugs and vaccines to eradicate these diseases.

热带病在世界范围内造成重大的人类和经济负担，特别是在资源贫乏的环境中。世界上大约一半的人口面临疟疾的风险。在澳大利亚，链球菌和寄生虫感染在土著社区尤为常见。该规划汇集了顶尖专家，以应对这些重大卫生挑战。他们正在研究人体对感染的反应，并创造新的药物和疫苗来根除这些疾病。
