7. Impact of Environment and Social Gradient on Leptospira Infection in Urban Slums
Chapter
Abstract
At the beginning of the 2000s, one billion of the world’s population resided in slum settlements. This number was expected to double in twenty-five years. The growth of large urban populations marginalized from basic services has created a new set of global health challenges. As part of the Millennium Development Goals, a major priority has been to address the underlying poor sanitation and environmental degradation in slum communities, conditions that in turn cause a spectrum of neglected diseases that affect these populations.
