Background
Investigating the effect of successive annual deworming rounds on the spatiotemporal distribution of infection prevalence and numbers at risk for soil-transmitted helminths (STHs) can help identify communities nearing elimination and those needing further interventions. In this study, we aim to…

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.…

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,…
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.
This study aimed to investigate whether large-scale distribution of long-lasting insecticidal nets could contribute towards the mass drug administration-based transmission control of lymphatic filariasis.15/07/2011

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,…
