This review provides an overview of the complex ways in which population movements are linked to spread and control of neglected tropical diseases – often exacerbated by insufficient medical services and sanitary infrastructure. A new typology of population movements is suggested which builds on previous work but offers a more comprehensive typology based on the variables of 'onset', 'cause', 'direction' and 'motivation'. Schistosomiasis and leishmaniasis provide examples of the intricate ways in which population movements may play a role. A thorough and context-specific understanding of these patterns combined with the ability and will to launch targeted public health interventions is needed to achieve adequate control of neglected tropical diseases as well as other infectious diseases.
本综述概述了人口流动与被忽视的热带病传播和控制之间复杂的联系方式——这些联系常常因医疗服务和卫生基础设施不足而加剧。本文提出了一种新的人口流动分类法，该分类法建立在前人的工作基础上，但基于“起始”、“原因”、“方向”和“动机”等变量提供了更全面的分类法。血吸虫病和利什曼病为人口流动可能发挥作用的复杂方式提供了例证。需要深入了解这些模式，并根据具体情况进行分析，同时还需要有能力和意愿开展有针对性的公共卫生干预措施，才能实现对被忽视的热带病以及其他传染病的有效控制。
