DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis is an existing infrastructure for other neglected tropical disease (NTD) control or elimination programmes, as was done to add schistosomiasis. The preliminary steps for implementing a strongyloidiasis control programme were shared, namely: - gain knowledge of the epidemiology of S. stercoralis; - conduct a field evaluation of the proposed intervention. Pilot interventions should evaluate the impact and feasibility of the proposed strategy (a pilot study is planned in Ethiopia); and - find a standard diagnostic tool to enable assessment of the public health burden of the disease and exchange of information among different research and control groups; for many countries there is no epidemiological information at all, so we need recommendations for assessment of baseline prevalence.
