The book is organized into four parts, with Part One focusing on methods and their eventual specificities, including the ways in which methods such as sampling can be adapted for specific scenarios. Parts Two and Three explore environmental factors and their consequences for neurology in the tropical world, as well as large geographical areas and their specificities. Finally, Part Four presents in-depth chapters on relevant neurological diseases.

One of the strengths of this book is its focus on the differences and similarities between neuroepidemiology in tropical areas and temperate zones, highlighting the unique challenges faced in developing countries. The book covers a wide range of topics related to neurological disease in the tropics, not only infectious diseases but also nutrition and public health.

The book is authored by an international collection of experienced authors in the field, ensuring that readers get a well-rounded and comprehensive view of the topic. The chapters are well-structured, with clear headings and subheadings, making it easy to find information on specific topics.
