COR NTD - GSA Elimination of Schistosomiasis as a Public Health Problem

In this GSA-COR NTD pre-meeting video, NTD programmes in Ethiopia, Malawi and Tanzania to share evidence on achieving elimination as a public health problem (EPHP) for schistosomiasis and what their current intervention decisions are when the target has been achieved. The session discusses from a programme perspective, what the main facilitators and barriers are to EPHP intervention decisions.

The Economist Intelligence Unit Report: Reducing the burden of parasitic worms in sub-Saharan Africa

The report examines the burden of schistosomiasis and soil-transmitted helminthiasis and strategies for their control in Ethiopia, Kenya, Rwanda, and Zimbabwe, and estimates the potential economic gains of meeting the WHO’s elimination goals for these diseases in each country.

Predicted Impact of COVID-19 on Neglected Tropical Disease Programs and the Opportunity for Innovation

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, many key neglected tropical disease (NTD) activities have been postponed. This hindrance comes at a time when the NTDs are progressing towards their ambitious goals for 2030. Mathematical modelling on several NTDs, namely gambiense sleeping sickness, lymphatic filariasis, onchocerciasis, schistosomiasis, soil-transmitted helminthiases (STH), trachoma, and visceral leishmaniasis, shows that the impact of this disruption will vary across the diseases.

Recommendations for Safely Restarting MDA for NTDs in Settings with Heightened Risk of COVID-19 Community Transmission

The following are recommendations and best practices to consider when developing plans for safely restarting mass drug administration (MDA) campaigns in the context of COVID-19. This document is meant to supplement WHO’s guidance note entitled, Considerations for implementing mass treatment, active case-finding and population-based surveys for neglected tropical diseases in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic,1 released on 27 July, 2020.
