Extract

The major health problems of the world today relate to infections—viral, bacterial or parasitological. Malaria, schistosomiasis and filariasis are a risk to at least 600 million people and the problems of many of these infections are getting worse owing to ecological changes associated with industrial development and burgeoning populations which have increased out of proportion to increases in health resources.
