As we already go through many hardships to get a higher degree, making the VISA process more complicated adds to the burden on our shoulders." - Kaneemozhe Harichandran

Dr. Graciela Ostera, faculty member at the Microbiology & Immunology Department, and her collaborator Dr. Rojelio Mejia, from the National School of Tropical Medicine at Baylor College of Medicine, summarized their views on immigrant health in this article recently published in the Annals of Global Health, “Neglected Parasitic Infections in Immigrant Populations: Global Health in our Backyard.”
This work discusses a very relevant and current issue at the intersection of medicine, society and health policy: our incomplete understanding of immigrants’ health status and its impact on public health. The authors point out to the infectious diseases being silently introduced to the United States and call for a review of current health policy in the context of legal and illegal immigration.
