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.”
