Importance & Scope
Barcelona is the second largest city of Spain. OMICS International Conference is a great platform in Barcelona for researchers to explore knowledge and get new ideas to fight against these infectious diseases. With a focus in Chagas disease, the Barcelona Centre for International Health Research (CRESIB), the research arm of the Barcelona Institute for Global Health has been involved in research and training related to NTD's (Neglected Tropical Diseases) since 2002 and ISGlobal is currently working on an intervention strategy in Bolivia, the country most affected by Chagas disease. This strategy intervenes on three levels: measures aimed at providing direct care for patients in order to improve integrated care (prevention, diagnosis, and treatment); training health care professionals in the management of Chagas disease; and the development of research protocols through a joint scientific platform. Of note among the research projects currently underway is a phase 2 clinical trial to determine the safety and efficacy of a new drug for chronic Chagas disease as well as several projects to develop new tools to diagnose and monitor the treatment of Chagas disease. These tools include disease progression and healing markers that will help to assess the effectiveness of treatment in patients with chronic infection.
In Spain, Chagas disease is now a public health issue, ISGlobal advocates early detection of infection in newborn infants and quality care for patients living with the disease. This will be possible only when patients with chronic Chagas disease living in Spain are correctly diagnosed and receive adequate care to prevent or control the complications associated with their condition. Other NTD related work by ISGlobal includes leishmania, helthminths and analyzing options relating to control, elimination and eradication of onchocerciasis, Lymphatic Filariasis and Human African Trypanosomiasis projects.[1]
