متن کاملTarget-based drug discovery for human African trypanosomiasis: selection of molecular target and chemical matter
Target-based approaches for human African trypanosomiasis (HAT) and related parasites can be a valuable route for drug discovery for these diseases. However, care needs to be taken in selection of both the actual drug target and the chemical matter that is developed. In this article, potential criteria to aid target selection are described. Then the physiochemical properties of typical oral dru...
متن کاملMonitoring the elimination of human African trypanosomiasis: Update to 2014
BACKGROUND The World Health Organization (WHO) has targeted the elimination of Human African trypanosomiasis (HAT) 'as a public health problem' by 2020. The selected indicators of elimination should be monitored every two years, and we provide here a comprehensive update to 2014. The monitoring system is underpinned by the Atlas of HAT. RESULTS With 3,797 reported cases in 2014, the correspon...
