Figure 2. Annual budget (in US $) for diseases included in the
United Nations Children's Fund/UNDP/World Bank/World Health Organization–supported
Special Programme for Research and Training in Tropical Diseases (TDR)
compared to their estimated global disability-associated life years (DALYs).
The thinner lines indicate estimated DALYs lost because of cystic echinococcosis
(CE) and the recommended funding level based on the TDR 2004–2005 approved
program budget (Oncho, onchocerciasis; Tryp, trypanosomiasis; Schisto,
schistosomiasis; Leish, leishmaniasis; LF, lymphatic filariasis; TB, tuberculosis).
This figure does not take into account the substantial regional variability
in both the estimates of DALYs lost and the annual budget for the diseases
illustrated.
