Abstract
Neglected tropical diseases are a serious global public health problem and they are one of
the main causes of mortality and morbidity, especially in underdeveloped countries. These diseases
have several implications for health and they are considered a priority in global eradication programs
for disease control. The aim of this mini-review is to report recent studies on the fight against neglected
diseases, namely dengue fever, chikungunya, zika, malaria protozoa, Chagas disease, leishmaniasis,
schistosomiasis helminths, filariasis, and tuberculosis bacteria using extracts and isolated substances of
endophytic fungi based on their bioactivity profiles in relation to these diseases.
