Evidence based targeting of districts for active surveillance of skin-related neglected tropical diseases in Ghana
To improve control and management of skin-neglected tropical diseases (NTDs), district-level integration of case finding and management is recommended. However, these strategies are costly and should be targeted to co-endemic areas. Identifying districts with high burdens of undiagnosed cases, particularly where access to healthcare is limited, can better direct efforts. We developed an evidence consensus framework—a structured decision-making ap…
The occurrence of cross-host species soil-transmitted helminth infections in humans and domestic/livestock animals
Zoonotic soil-transmitted helminths (STH), including Ancylostoma ceylanicum , Ancylostoma caninum , Ancylostoma braziliense , Trichuris vulpis , Trichuris suis , and Ascaris suum , are increasingly recognised as potential sources of human infection. Additionally, animals can act as carriers or reservoirs for human STH species. However, the extent of cross-host infection remains poorly understood, primarily due to reliance on morphological diagnos…
Ethnographic study of Buruli ulcer wound management practices in a traditional therapeutic setting in Ghana
Our findings suggest that the traditional healer enjoyed substantial public legitimacy from his clients due to his perceived interest in helping affected individuals achieve cures using culturally and financially appropriate ways to manage wounds. However, we also observed the use of non-sterile procedures and unregulated preparations, which may be potentially deleterious. The willingness of the traditional healer to collaborate with the formal h…
Better floors, better health
This study presents a theory of change framework mapping the pathways through which an improved flooring intervention may impact health and wellbeing. The results can be of use to researchers or programmes that are in the design or evaluation phase of a household flooring project in Kenya or other settings where access to improved floors is limited
Development of an integrated and decentralised skin health strategy to improve experiences of skin neglected tropical diseases and other skin conditions in Atwima Mponua District, Ghana
Integrated strategies are recommended to tackle neglected tropical diseases of the skin (skin NTDs), which pose a substantial health and economic burden in many countries, including Ghana. We describe the development of an integrated and decentralised skin health strategy designed to improve experiences of skin NTDs in Atwima Mponua district in Ashanti Region. A multidisciplinary research team led an iterative process to develop an overall strate…
