Abstract

Neglected tropical diseases are a serious global public health problem and they are one of the main causes of mortality and morbidity, especially in underdeveloped countries. These diseases have several implications for health and they are considered a priority in global eradication programs for disease control. The aim of this mini-review is to report recent studies on the fight against neglected diseases, namely dengue fever, chikungunya, zika, malaria protozoa, Chagas disease, leishmaniasis, schistosomiasis helminths, filariasis, and tuberculosis bacteria using extracts and isolated substances of endophytic fungi based on their bioactivity profiles in relation to these diseases.

Keywords: Chikungunya, Dengue, Chagas Disease, Filariasis, Leishmaniasis, Malaria, Tuberculosis, Zika.
