History[edit | edit source]
PLOS Neglected Tropical Diseases was launched in 2007 as the first open-access journal dedicated to the study of neglected tropical diseases. The journal was established to provide a platform for researchers and scientists to publish their findings on diseases that disproportionately affect the world's poorest populations and often receive less attention and funding than other diseases.

The journal covers a wide range of topics related to neglected tropical diseases, including but not limited to:
- Epidemiology
- Pathogenesis
- Diagnosis
- Treatment
- Prevention
- Control strategies
Neglected tropical diseases are a diverse group of communicable diseases that prevail in tropical and subtropical conditions in 149 countries. They affect more than one billion people and cost developing economies billions of dollars every year.
