Trends in Parasitology, 09/14/09
Payne RJH et al. – The dominant metric for setting public health priorities, the disability–adjusted life year, is unsuited to parasitic infections. In particular, the current DALY framework fails to acknowledge the non–linear pathologies of infection, the community level dynamics of epidemiology and the co–morbidities of polyparasitism. Parasitologists must urgently provide a better way of accounting for the true costs of parasitic disease.
