This is followed by an overview of advances in research that have contributed to the development of vaccines, drugs, diagnostic tests and other disease control tools. An account is given of the diversity of approaches exploited by researchers working within the TDR network, high-lighting their activities during the 1985-1986 biennium. Other chapters review research on the biological control of vectors and discuss the contribution of research on epidemiology and on the social and economic aspects of tropical diseases to the application of disease control tools.  aTropical medicinexResearch  aMaurice, Johneeditor  aPearce, Anna Marina.eeditor  aWorld Health Organization  aUnited Nations Development Programme  aWorld Bank  uhttps://iris.who.int/handle/10665/36975
