This volume of the Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTD) series covers the most prevalent NTDs in
Oceania. This book will discuss in detail pathology diagnostics and control approaches of
selected NTDs in the geographic region. A large part of Oceania's population lives in poverty
and therefore is at high risk for certain parasitic diseases such as hookworm infection
lymphatic filariasis strongyloidiasis or scabies. In addition viral infections such as dengue
and new emerging viruses are of importance as major health risks for people living and
traveling in this area. Each chapter focuses on one specific disease or series of related
diseases and provides in-depth insights into the topic.
