The swath of the earth lying between the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of
Capricorn is home to a variety of severe endemic diseases including:
malaria, dracunculiasis or Guinea-worm disease, schistolomiasis, trematode
infections, onchocerciasis, leishmaniasis, denge fever, and sleeping
sickness. The control and future eradication of these diseases is the
primary goal of the WHO Division of Control of Tropical Diseases and this
site provides basic information on the epidemiology, biology and potential
treatments for such diseases. Statistics on the incidence and history of
this group of diseases are also included as well as the WHO strategy for
eliminating them. For travelers concerned about possible exposure to both
tropical and other diseases, the CDC Travel Information page provides
timely information on the current distribution of many human pathogens,
recent outbreaks, and recommended vaccinations for travel. [DF]
