Journal Article
Challenges and opportunities for control and elimination of soil-transmitted helminth infection beyond 2020
2019
Overview
[...]as we turn our sights towards and beyond 2020, the Committee recognized it as timely to review and assess the successes and challenges of progress made to date. PC, preventive chemotherapy; PSAC, preschool children; WHO, World Health Organization. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pntd.0007201.g002 There have been many important developments by the time the Committee convened in November 2017, but six are particularly noteworthy: * updated PC guidelines published by WHO for all at-risk populations [13]; * the Bellagio Declaration focusing on girls and WRA [14]; * widening of WHO’s engagement with experts around the globe [15]; * success of the Global Program to Eliminate Lymphatic Filariasis (GPELF) [16]; * increasing importance for deworming programs to measure impact [17]; and * the launch by WHO-AFRO of the Expanded Special Project on the Elimination of Neglected Tropical Diseases (ESPEN) portal (http://espen.afro.who.int), which provides—for the first—subnational data on disease endemicity and PC coverage for each of the five PC-NTDs, including STH infection. Current approaches to measuring impact vary across countries and across deworming program implementers, limiting comparability and the possibility to appreciate changes over time and across countries and regions. [...]impact data are not readily available, with most of the evaluations conducted by research groups. Consistent with these needs is a recognized gap in our current knowledge of disease transmission at low prevalence and persistent environmental factors that facilitate transmission. [...]there is a renewed need to clearly identify research gaps and questions that would facilitate implementation in these settings.
