Control of visceral leishmaniasis in East Africa
box Significant progress has been made in reducing the global burden of visceral leishmaniasis (also known as ‘kala azar’), a vectorborne disease that is 100% fatal if left untreated, but new threats are on the horizon. So far, the success has been particularly striking in India, Bangladesh and Nepal, where reported cases have declined from more than 77 000 in 1992 to under 3200 in 2019.1 2 In contrast, in East Africa, existing diagnostics and tr…
Transmission Dynamics of Schistosoma haematobium among School-Aged Children
The reinfection rate of schistosomiasis after mass drug administration (MDA) has not been documented in Sudan. We aimed to explore the transmission dynamics of urogenital schistosomiasis after MDA, targeting school-aged children in the White Nile State of Sudan, assessing the prevalence, reinfection rate, and incidence. A single dose of praziquantel (40 mg/kg) was administered to 1951 students in five primary schools from January to February 2018…
Prevalence and determinants of anaemia in women of reproductive age in Sudan
Anaemia is a public health problem in Sudan. The study supported the association between malaria infection and anaemia, but not with low and moderate malaria transmission areas. Resources need to be allocated for all anaemic populations with special attention for the populations in most need and interventions need to be implemented based on local variations. Malaria control interventions, specifically case management, may have a major impact in r…
Trends of improved water and sanitation coverage around the globe between 1990 and 2010
BACKGROUND: As the Millennium Development Goals ended, and were replaced by the Sustainable Development Goals, efforts have been made to evaluate the achievements and performance of official development assistance (ODA) in the health sector. In this study, we explore trends in the expansion of water and sanitation coverage in developing countries and the performance of ODA. DESIGN: We explored inequality across developing countries by income leve…
Nationwide cross-sectional survey of schistosomiasis and soil-transmitted helminthiasis in Sudan
This nationwide mapping is expected to generate important epidemiological information and indicators about schistosomiasis and STHs that will be useful for monitoring and evaluating the control program. The mapping data will also be used for overviewing the status and policy formulation and updates to the control strategies. This paper, which describes a feasible and practical study protocol, is to be shared with the global health community, espe…
