مقدمة:

يسرّ اللجنة الدائمة للتعاون العلمي والتكنولوجي التابعة لمنظمة التعاون الإسلامي (الكومستيك) أن تعلن عن عقد ندوة دولية حول الأمراض المدارية المُهمَلة، بهدف مناقشة التحديات الصحية العالمية الحرجة التي تؤثر في الفئات السكانية الأكثر هشاشة في إفريقيا وآسيا والأمريكتين.

تضمّ الأمراض المدارية المُهمَلة مجموعة مكوّنة من 20 مرضًا معديًا تسبّبها فيروسات وبكتيريا وديدان طفيلية. ومع تأثيرات تغيّر المناخ والاحتباس الحراري، أخذت هذه الأمراض تنتشر بشكل متزايد خارج المناطق المدارية لتصل إلى المناطق ذات المناخ المعتدل.

وسيُخصَّص محور من هذه الندوة لمرض اللِّيشمانيا (داء الليشمانيات)، وهو أحد أكثر عشرة أمراض مدارية مُهمَلة انتشارًا عالميًا، إذ يصيب أكثر من 12 مليون شخص حول العالم. وسيشارك في الندوة نخبة من المتحدثين الدوليين المرموقين لمناقشة تشخيص الأمراض المدارية المُهمَلة، واكتشاف الأدوية المعتمد على بنية الجزيئات، والمدعوم بالذكاء الاصطناعي، والموجَّه ضد الطفيليات المسببة لمرض الليشمانيا.
