Abstract

The neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) are most prevalent in cause severe and lifelong impairment in the world. Causing of these infectious diseases belongs to several pathogenesis groups, including vector-borne protozoa, bacteria and two species of non-tuberculosis mycobacteria. Despite causing serious complications, NTDs has been rarely concerned because the majority of cases occur in underdeveloped countries, whose health care standards are only acceptable to poor [1]. Nevertheless, recent studies have highlighted major technology hubs even markedly increased susceptibility to NTDs because natural population growth and over longstanding rural-urban migration.
