Tropical Infections

Tropical infections thrive in the hot, humid conditions of the tropics. They are caused by viruses, bacteria or parasites and are spread by air, sexual contact, or contaminated sources of water and food. Insects or other animals can be used as vectors of tropical infections by insect bites. Some tropical viral infections include dengue fever, yellow fever, rotavirus, AIDS, Ebola fever and Lassa fever. Some examples of tropical bacterial infections include cholera, Escherichia coli, tuberculosis and Hansen's disease (leprosy). Another source of tropical infections is protozoa and parasitic single-cell worms. Mosquitoes can transmit Plasmodia-type protozoa to humans when they are feeding. Protozoa eat the host's red blood cells in a disease called malaria, which infects 300 million people each year and kills one to three million. Other parasitic infections caused by protozoa include trypanosomiasis and leishmaniasis. Schistosomiasis and filariasis are caused by microscopic worms that attack the human body. Neglected tropical infections affect the poorest countries, including 149 countries and more than 1.4 billion people. They cost developing countries billions of dollars each year.
