Background
South Sudan has rolled out a neglected tropical disease programme, which envisaged deworming campaigns in states endemic for soil transmitted helminth infections and schistosomiasis.
Methods
In 2016, two deworming campaigns targeting school-age children were performed in Central Equatoria. Distribution sites were set…

This presentation was given at the 2016 American Society of Tropical Medicine & Hygiene Conference. It discusses Malaria Consortium's study that aimed to improve schistosomiasis prevention and control at the community level through community dialogues in Mozambique.
Background
Schistosomiasis is a parasitic disease which affects almost 300 million people worldwide each year. It is highly endemic in Mozambique. Prevention and control of schistosomiasis relies mainly on mass drug…31/03/2016
Background
Schistosomiasis is a parasitic disease which affects almost 300 million people worldwide each year. It is highly endemic in Mozambique. Prevention and control of schistosomiasis relies mainly on mass drug administration (MDA), as well as adoption of basic sanitation practices.…

Programmes aiming to control or eliminate neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) are being scaled up in many parts of the world. As part of this ongoing effort, many countries still need to complete mapping of their NTD endemic areas. This study…
Abstract
Control of neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) is suggested to be more cost-effective when drugs are co-administered through a single integrated delivery system rather than separate systems. An essential prerequisite for…13/07/2010
Abstract
Control of neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) is suggested to be more cost-effective when drugs are co-administered through a single integrated delivery system rather than separate systems. An essential prerequisite for such efficiency gains is sufficient geographical overlap of the targeted…

Abstract
Combining the delivery of multiple health interventions has the potential to minimize costs and expand intervention coverage. Integration of mass drug administration is therefore being encouraged for delivery of preventive chemotherapy (PCT) to control onchocerciasis, lymphatic filariasis, schistosomiasis, soil-transmitted helminthiasis,…
