BERNHARD-NOCHT-INSTITUT FÜR TROPENMEDIZIN, HAMBURG
A few years ago it was lively debated whether it is appropriate and sensible to maintain institutes for tropical medicine in the industrialized world of moderate climates. Of course, countries in the endemic regions of tropical diseases must be given every support to do medical research and product marketing on their own. All the more as the World Bank assesses that national development cannot succeed without national research endeavours, and be it only to keep the talent in the country. And there appears no field of research better suited than diseases prevailing in the local population.
On the other side, biomedical research has developed into a costly high-technology undertaking, and a number of roadblocks at present prevent a broader implementation in low-income countries. This cannot mean that populations of low-income nations not only suffer from collective poverty but also from diseases - due to failing research activities in their part of the world. For institutes of tropical medicine in industrialized countries, this implies a clear mandate to do high-technology research.
It slowly is being realised that financing tropical-disease research is by no means altruistic. Poverty-related diseases make poorer, and poverty is considered one of the major threats to peace worldwide. Not to forget national reputations in emerging economies. What is new is that the tropical diseases themselves are getting closer. Be it due to globalisation or climate change, West-Nile virus has taken over the USA in 2004, Chikungunya virus emerged in Italy in 2007, and its vector, "tiger mosquito" Aedes albopictus, moved into the Upper Rhine valley by 2007. New challenges are arising.Over more than a hundred years, Germany´s largest and most renowned institute for tropical diseases, the Bernhard Nocht Institute for Tropical Medicine, has made historic contributions to the control of communicable diseases and emerging infections. Its members feel obliged by the great tradition and are prepared to meet the challenges of the future.
