Female Genital Schistosomiasis (FGS) in Cameroon: A formative epidemiological and socioeconomic investigation in eleven rural fishing communities

In Cameroon, despite high community prevalences of urine-patent S. haematobium infections, FGS has yet to be studied in depth. To shed light on the clinical prevalence and socioeconomic effects of FGS, researchers undertook a formative community-based epidemiological and qualitative survey.

Spillover, hybridization, and persistence in schistosome transmission dynamics at the human–animal interface

The threat to public health that is presented by zoonotic spillover of pathogens from animal reservoirs is predicted to increase with rapid anthropogenic changes and global trends such as migration and changing land use.

Neglected tropical diseases: impact of COVID-19 and WHO’s response – 2021 update

From 2015–2019, over 1 billion people received one or more of the above interventions for NTDs. As a consequence, great progress has been made to reduce NTD prevalence and incidence. In 2020, special circumstances prevailed, as will be discussed in more detail in this paper.

Summary of global update on implementation of preventive chemotherapy against NTDs in 2020

Preventive chemotherapy (PC) is a cornerstone in the fight against NTDs. PC is defined as large-scale delivery of safe, quality-assured medicines, either alone or in combination, at regular intervals to entire population groups.

The challenges for women’s health in sub-Saharan Africa: Lessons learned from an integrative multistakeholder workshop in Gabon

Report on the outcomes of an integrative, multistakeholder workshop held in Gabon, Central Africa, to help develop a framework for synergistic, sustainable and gender- and context-appropriate interventions to manage the NTD-NCD complex and additionally reproductive health. This workshop identified female genital schistosomiasis (FGS), cesarean section (CS) and cervical cancer (CC) as tracer clinical conditions for the key themes of NTDs, NCDs and reproductive health respectively because they constitute major women’s health challenges in the SSA that demand collaborative solutions.
