Neglected tools for neglected diseases: mathematical models in economic evaluations

Highlights • New strategies are needed to reach the WHO neglected tropical disease (NTD) control and elimination goals. • Economic evaluations using mathematical models could improve resource allocation. • Dynamic models are needed to account for nonlinearities in transmission. • Challenges and rese...

Description
Summary:Highlights • New strategies are needed to reach the WHO neglected tropical disease (NTD) control and elimination goals. • Economic evaluations using mathematical models could improve resource allocation. • Dynamic models are needed to account for nonlinearities in transmission. • Challenges and research needs to address this gap are outlined.
