Paying for Worms
Peter J. Hotez and colleagues discuss how, although approximately one-half of the global disease burden due to the major helminthic infections occurs among the poor living in rich economies, almost all of the public support for helminth control and research and development comes out of the United States and Europe. Financial support for helminth R&D and MDA could become an important theme for future G20 summits.
