Preventive chemotherapy to control soil-transmitted helminthiasis averted more than 500 000 DALYs in 2015.

Published in Transactions of the Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene

In endemic areas, preventive chemotherapy provides a significant health benefit. We consider this estimation potentially useful to evaluate the cost utility of the investment made by several endemic countries on PC to control STH.

Decline in bancroftian microfilaraemia (microfilaria rate 0.32% to zero) supports elimination, but re-emergence of brugian filariasisis (antibody rate, 1.6%; one microfilaria positive) is a cause for concern.

Community seroprevalence survey for yaws and trachoma in the Western Division of Fiji.

Published in Transactions of the Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene

In this study there was neither clinical nor serological evidence that transmission of yaws was ongoing. The Pgp3 seroprevalence pattern was consistent with either low level transmission of ocular Chlamydia trachomatis or exposure to C. trachomatis in the birth canal which is consistent with a survey conducted in the same region in 2013. These data...
