Abstract

Abstract : There is a clear need to develop new and inexpensive drugs to alleviate diseases caused by parasitic worms in animals and humans worldwide. In this article we discuss the roles and advantages of working in public–private partnerships (PPPs) – among academia, industry, and philanthropy – to enable anthelmintic drug discovery.
