Supplementary notes

This statistic was assembled from several editions of the G-Finder report.
Please note that some of the diseases listed above are actually groups of diseases, such as the diarrhoeal illnesses and helminth infections. This reflects common practice and also the shared nature of research in some areas. For example Streptococcus pneumoniae R&D is often targeted at both pneumonia and meningitis.
No value means no data was available for the given year.
