Elephantitis. River blindness. Snail fever. Worms. Also known as lymphatic filariasis, onchocerciasis, schistosomiasis, and soil-transmitted helminths, these and other neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) affect more than one billion—or one in eight—people worldwide. They occur primarily in poor communities with limited access to health care. NTDs can cause blindness, disfigurement, and malnutrition that result in lifelong health complications, social stigma, and the inability to work.
