Improving Mass Drug Administration After Transmission Assessment Survey Failure: Results from a Mixed Methods Study
- What factors are associated with the availability, accessibility, and acceptability of MDA?
- What is the impact of an adapted and tailored intervention package on effective coverage?
Le Xenomonitoring pour produire des preuves supplementaires d’interruption de la transmission de la filariose lymphatique dans les zones post Traitement de masse au Burkina Faso
Does lymphatic filariasis transmission interrupt or resurge after the MDA has stopped base on the TAS in the evaluation units of Hauts-Bassins region since 2011?
Towards the development of efficient traps for onchocerciasis xenosurveillance in Burkina Faso
1. Will the traps collect a similar daily number of host-seeking S.damnosum females than the HLC?
2. Will the physiological stage and infectivity rates of the blackflies collected by the traps be similar to those of the vector collectors?
3. Could the development of a standard and effective trap support the decision to stop MDAs by facilitating xenomonitoring of onchocerciasis?
Follow-up of positive cases of lymphatic filariasis after Transmission Assessment Survey (TAS) 2 and TAS 3 in Burkina Faso
Identify the sampling strategy for tracking positive cases after TAS 2 and TAS 3 that optimizes the chances of correctly identifying evidence of active transmission, while saving program resources
Community implementation and comparison of Human landing and Non human landing collection methods for vectors of Wuchereria bancrofti and Onchocerca volvulus for entomological monitoring of transmission (Uganda)
To determine the feasibility of the use of entomological traps by community members for onchocerciasis and lymphatic filariasis entomological assessments.
