Optimal Prevalence Threshold For Guiding The Implementation Of Preventive Chemotherapy In Countries Endemic For Schistosomiasis: Synthesis Of Evidence From Mass Drug Administration Programmes For Developing This Tool

2021-05-10

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> <h4>Background</h4> The WHO-recommended prevalence thresholds for deciding schistosomiasis mass drug administration (MDA) are based on anecdotal evidence and may mislead. This study systematically synthesized evidence to generate a single optimal ‘global’ prevalence threshold that should guide schistosomiasis MDA programmes worldwide. <h4>Methods</h4> We searched several databases from 1978 to...
