Abstract

The author reflects on the opportunities from the global control and elimination of neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) for the U.S. and China to expand their relations. He notes that the U.S. and China may develop science diplomacy for they share a historical legacy of NTDs, both strides for solving NTDs, and both have expertise and financial support. He believes that a joint Sino-U.S. enterprise is a winning combination to control NTDs and could collaborate for NTDs initiatives in Africa.
