Abstract

Years of advocacy for the neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) have focused the world鈥檚 attention on these diseases of the poor, resulting most recently in the 2012 鈥淟ondon Declaration鈥� and the recent World Health Assembly Resolution WHA66.12 on NTDs in May 2013. Control of the endemic neglected zoonotic diseases (NZDs) would benefit from a similar campaign, which needs the support of a global community.
