Integrated Prevalence Assessment of Wuchereria bancrofti and Onchocerca volvulus in Three Co-Endemic Districts of Gambella Region, Ethiopia
Am J Trop Med Hyg. 2023 Sep 11:tpmd220392. doi: 10.4269/ajtmh.22-0392. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTLymphatic filariasis (LF) and onchocerciasis (OV) are among the neglected tropical diseases (NTD) targeted for elimination in Ethiopia. We used a transmission assessment survey (TAS-1) to evaluate the serological status of OV in three co-endemic districts in Gambella simultaneously. During May and June 2019, blood samples were collected from 6- to 7-year-old children who were randomly selected through standard community-based TAS methodology.

Coverage evaluation of mass drug administration with triple drug regimen in an evaluation unit in Nagpur district of Maharashtra, India
by Raja Jeyapal Dinesh, Adinarayanan Srividya, Swaminathan Subramanian, Kaliannagounder Krishnamoorthy, Shanmugavelu Sabesan, Monika Charmode Raghorte, Ashwani Kumar, Purushothaman Jambulingam
BackgroundTriple drug regimen (IDA; Ivermectin, Diethylcarbamazine, Albendazole) recommended for accelerating elimination of lymphatic filariasis was launched in India in December 2018. Nagpur district in Maharashtra was one of the first five districts where this strategy was introduced. The National Vector Borne Disease Control Programme (NVBDCP) at the district reported ~85.0% treatment coverage in the first round of mass drug admi...

How correlations between treatment access and surveillance inclusion impact neglected tropical disease monitoring and evaluation —A simulated study
by Jessica Clark, Emma L. Davis, Joaquin M. Prada, Katherine Gass, Alison Krentel, T. D éirdre Hollingsworth
Neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) largely impact marginalised communities living in tropical and subtropical regions. Mass drug administration is the leading intervention method for five NTDs; however, it is known that there is lack of access to treatment for some populations and demographic groups. It is also likely that those individuals without access to treatment are excluded from surveillance. It is important to consider the impacts of this on the overall success, and monitoring and evaluation (M&E) of inter...

Comparison of collection methods for < i > Phlebotomus argentipes < /i > sand flies to use in a molecular xenomonitoring system for the surveillance of visceral leishmaniasis
This study will determine the best method for capturingP.argentipes females for MX. Methodology/Principal findingsThe field study was performed in two programmatic and two non-programmatic villages in Bihar, India. A total of 48 households (12/village) were recruited. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention light traps (CDC-LTs) were compared with Improved Prokopack (PKP) and mechanical vacuum aspirators (MVA) using standardised methods. Four 12x12 Latin squares, 576 collections, were attempted (12/house, 144/village,192/method). Molecular analyses of collections were conducted to confirm identification ofP.argentipes a...

Current status of infectious diseases among migrants and non-citizens in Malaysia
Trop Biomed. 2023 Jun 1;40(2):138-151. doi: 10.47665/tb.40.2.003.ABSTRACTThe mass movement of migrants to Malaysia for employment is one of the factors contributing to the emergence and re-emergence of infectious diseases in this country. Despite mandatory health screening for migrants seeking employment, prevalence records of infectious diseases amongst migrant populations in Malaysia are still within negligible proportions. Therefore, the present review highlights the incidence, mortality and overall status of infectious diseases amongst migrants' populations in Malaysia, which maybe be useful for impeding exacerbation o...
