Today, the neglected disease of poverty. Peter Hotez, president of the Sabin Vaccine Institute talked about parasitic infections, common among the poorest people in developing countries, that are now being diagnosed among the 36 to 40 million Americans who live in poverty.
今天的节目将给大家介绍长久以来被人们忽视的、困扰穷人的传染病。沙宾疫苗研究所所长彼得·霍特兹告诉记者,寄生虫病在发展中国家最贫困的人群中肆虐,目前美国已有360到400万人口得到确诊。
Peter Hotez: So there’s something about poverty that is making these people susceptible to these parasitic infections. And what we’ve identified in particular are six infections, and what we find are really high rates among African Americans and Hispanic Americans living in the poorest parts of our country.
