The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

The genome of the blood fluke Schistosoma mansoni (2009, neutral): “Schistosomiasis is a neglected tropical disease that ranks with malaria and tuberculosis as a major source of morbidity affecting approximately 210 million people in 76 countries, despite strenuous control efforts 1 .”
Neglected Tropical Diseases in Sub-Saharan Africa: Review of Their Prevalence, Distribution, and Disease Burden (2009, background): “Schistosomiasis 192 million 25% 93% [21]”
The Neglected Tropical Diseases of Latin America and the Caribbean: A Review of Disease Burden and Distribution and a Roadmap for Control and Elimination (2008, background): “[31] estimated that there are currently only 1.”
Contamination of water resources by pathogenic bacteria (2014, background): “These activities have been alleged to be responsible for causing new diseases and enhancing health risks (Fenwick 2006; Steinmann et al. 2006).”
Emerging threats and persistent conservation challenges for freshwater biodiversity (2018, background): “…changes and improved surveillance have been advocated to decrease the likelihood of pathogen introduction and maximise opportunities for control – with considerable potential to inform human disease management (e.g. malaria, schistosomiasis, giardiasis, West Nile fever) (Steinmann et al. , 2006).”
