Abstract
Large parts of South Sudan are thought to be trachoma endemic but baseline data, required to initiate interventions, are few. District-by-district surveys, currently recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO), are often not financially or logistically viable. We therefore adapted…

This is a brief project report for Malaria Consortium's Rapid NTD Mapping work, which determined the areas of South Sudan that required mass drug administration (MDA) of preventive chemotherapy for neglected tropical diseases, including lymphatic filariasis (LF), onchocerciasis, intestinal worms,…
Malaria Consortium is conducting a Mass Drug Administration project in Unity State, South Sudan to help reduce the incidence of trachoma, an NTD that can lead to blindness. 01/12/2011
Malaria Consortium is conducting a Mass Drug Administration project in Unity State, South Sudan to help reduce the incidence of trachoma, an NTD that can lead to blindness.
To inform budgeting to scale up control of trachoma and other NTDs relying on large-scale mass drug administration, this study set out to determine the cost per person treated when…11/10/2011
To inform budgeting to scale up control of trachoma and other NTDs relying on large-scale mass drug administration, this study set out to determine the cost per person treated when antibiotics were delivered via a campaign in South Sudan.
Abstract
Trachoma is thought to be endemic over large parts of Southern Sudan, but empirical evidence is limited. While some areas east of the Nile have been identified as highly endemic,…01/10/2010
Abstract
Trachoma is thought to be endemic over large parts of Southern Sudan, but empirical evidence is limited. While some areas east of the Nile have been identified as highly endemic, few trachoma surveys have been conducted in the remainder of…
This study sought to develop maps to help target the available resources for trachoma surveys and interventions in southern Sudan to areas where they are most needed, thereby improving programme…17/08/2010
This study sought to develop maps to help target the available resources for trachoma surveys and interventions in southern Sudan to areas where they are most needed, thereby improving programme efficiency.
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,…
