11/10/2011 Journal article The cost of antibiotic mass drug administration for trachoma control in a remote area of South Sudan 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.
01/09/2011 Journal article Accuracy of circulating cathodic antigen tests for rapid mapping of Schistosoma mansoni and S. haematobium infections in Southern Sudan 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… 01/09/2011 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…
01/10/2010 Journal article Trachoma rapid assessments in Unity and Northern Bahr-el-Ghazal states, Southern 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…
17/08/2010 Journal article Targeting trachoma control through risk mapping: The example of southern Sudan 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.
13/07/2010 Journal article Integrated surveys of neglected tropical diseases in southern Sudan: How much do they cost and can they be refined? 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…
29/06/2010 Journal article How to (or not to) integrate vertical programmes for the control of major neglected tropical diseases in sub-Saharan Africa 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… 29/06/2010 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,…
