Impact of Covid-19 in Tropical Medicine

COVID-19 infection leads to intestinal infection. Studies have cultured the COVID-19 virus from a single stool specimen. No reports of faecal−oral transmission of the COVID-19 virus have been found. Drug researchers realise the harmful effect a virus can have on people’s health and the entire world economy. Neglected tropical diseases are bacterial, viral, parasitic, fungal and non-communicable origin. NTDs share a common geographical and social context: their burden is predominantly located in tropical areas across the globe, and they majorly affect resource-poor communities and their correlation with the poverty is so close. The epidemiology of NTDs is complex and relates to environmental conditions.
