Cost-effectiveness of comparative survey designs for helminth control programs: Post-hoc cost analysis and modelling of the Kenyan national school-based deworming program
Minnery M, Okoyo C, Morgan G, Wang A, Johnson O, Fronterre C, et al.
PLoS Negl Trop Dis . 2024 Dec; 18(12):e0011583. PMID: 39621813
Background: Soil-transmitted helminths (STH) and schistosomiasis comprise the most wide-spread NTDs globally. Preventative chemotherapy is a cost-effective approach to controlling morbidity of both diseases, but relies on large scale surveys...

A geospatial analysis of local intermediate snail host distributions provides insight into schistosomiasis risk within under-sampled areas of southern Lake Malawi
Reed A, Al-Harbi M, Makaula P, Condemine C, Hesketh J, Archer J, et al.
Parasit Vectors . 2024 Jun; 17(1):272. PMID: 38937778
Background: Along the southern shoreline of Lake Malawi, the incidence of schistosomiasis is increasing with snails of the genera Bulinus and Biomphalaria transmitting urogenital and intestinal schistosomiasis, respectively. Since the...

An Ensemble Framework for Projecting the Impact of Lymphatic Filariasis Interventions Across Sub-Saharan Africa at a Fine Spatial Scale
Touloupou P, Fronterre C, Cano J, Prada J, Smith M, Kontoroupis P, et al.
Clin Infect Dis . 2024 Apr; 78(Suppl 2):S108-S116. PMID: 38662704
Background: Lymphatic filariasis (LF) is a neglected tropical disease targeted for elimination as a public health problem by 2030. Although mass treatments have led to huge reductions in LF prevalence,...

A Comparison of Markov and Mechanistic Models for Soil-Transmitted Helminth Prevalence Projections in the Context of Survey Design
Eyre M, Bulstra C, Johnson O, de Vlas S, Diggle P, Fronterre C, et al.
Clin Infect Dis . 2024 Apr; 78(Suppl 2):S146-S152. PMID: 38662703
Globally, there are over 1 billion people infected with soil-transmitted helminths (STHs), mostly living in marginalized settings with inadequate sanitation in sub-Saharan Africa and Southeast Asia. The World Health Organization...

Accelerating Progress Towards the 2030 Neglected Tropical Diseases Targets: How Can Quantitative Modeling Support Programmatic Decisions?
Vasconcelos A, King J, Nunes-Alves C, Anderson R, Argaw D, Basanez M, et al.
Clin Infect Dis . 2024 Apr; 78(Suppl 2):S83-S92. PMID: 38662692
Over the past decade, considerable progress has been made in the control, elimination, and eradication of neglected tropical diseases (NTDs). Despite these advances, most NTD programs have recently experienced important...

Model-based geostatistical design and analysis of prevalence for soil-transmitted helminths in Kenya: Results from ten-years of the Kenya national school-based deworming programme
Okoyo C, Minnery M, Orowe I, Owaga C, Campbell S, Wambugu C, et al.
Heliyon . 2023 Oct; 9(10):e20695. PMID: 37829802
Background: Kenya is endemic for soil-transmitted helminths (STH) with over 6 million children in 27 counties currently at-risk. A national school-based deworming programme (NSBDP) was launched in 2012 with a...

Modernizing the design and analysis of prevalence surveys for neglected tropical diseases
Diggle P, Fronterre C, Gass K, Hundley L, Niles-Robin R, Sampson A, et al.
Philos Trans R Soc Lond B Biol Sci . 2023 Aug; 378(1887):20220276. PMID: 37598704
Current WHO guidelines set prevalence thresholds below which a neglected tropical disease can be considered to have been eliminated as a public health problem, and specify how surveys to assess...

Paenibacillus spp infection among infants with postinfectious hydrocephalus in Uganda: an observational case-control study
Morton S, Hehnly C, Burgoine K, Ssentongo P, Ericson J, Kumar M, et al.
Lancet Microbe . 2023 Jun; 4(8):e601-e611. PMID: 37348522
Background: Paenibacillus thiaminolyticus is a cause of postinfectious hydrocephalus among Ugandan infants. To determine whether Paenibacillus spp is a pathogen in neonatal sepsis, meningitis, and postinfectious hydrocephalus, we aimed to...

Estimating the burden of mycetoma in Sudan for the period 1991-2018 using a model-based geostatistical approach
Hassan R, Cano J, Fronterre C, Bakhiet S, Fahal A, Deribe K, et al.
PLoS Negl Trop Dis . 2022 Oct; 16(10):e0010795. PMID: 36240229
Mycetoma is widespread in tropical and subtropical regions favouring arid areas with low humidity and a short rainy season. Sudan is one of the highly endemic countries for mycetoma. Estimating...
