    Abstract

    Global health advocates often speak the language of eradication. It is reassuring to see the Editors of The Lancet Global Health turn their attention to another eradication effort:that of so-called parachute researchers and parasitic research (June Issue). The Editors raise the important issue of exploitative research, from which individuals from predominantly high-income countries extract data and knowledge from predominantly low-income and middle-income countries without due acknowledgement of local partners and collaborators.
