In the past, and still today, people living in the developing world have been, and continue to be, repeatedly exposed to a number of endemic parasitic diseases which impose an intolerable economic, health and social burden on their societies (Stoll, 1947; Sachs and Malaney, 2002). Among the parasitic diseases, malaria due to Plasmodium falciparum inflicts the largest burden (Snow et al., 2005)....
BACKGROUND Burden of disease estimates are widely used for priority setting in public health and disability-adjusted life years are a powerful "currency" nowadays. However, disability weights, which capture the disability incurred by a typical patient of a certain condition, are fundamental to such burden calculation and their determination remains a widely debated issue. METHODOLOGY A cross-...
BACKGROUND Schistosomiasis and soil-transmitted helminthiasis are two high-burden neglected tropical diseases. In highly endemic areas, control efforts emphasize preventive chemotherapy. However, as morbidity, infection, and transmission begin to decrease, more targeted treatment is likely to become more cost-effective, provided that comparatively cheap diagnostic methods with reasonable accura...
BACKGROUND Mali is endemic for all five targeted major neglected tropical diseases (NTDs).

BACKGROUND There is considerable debate on the health impacts of soil-transmitted helminth infections. We assessed effects of deworming on physical fitness and strength of children in an area in Yunnan, People's Republic of China, where soil-transmitted helminthiasis is highly endemic. METHODOLOGY The double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial was conducted between October 2011 and Ma...
BACKGROUND Kato-Katz is a widely used method for the diagnosis of soil-transmitted helminth infection. Fecal samples cannot be preserved, and hence, should be processed on the day of collection and examined under a microscope within 60 min of slide preparation. Mini-FLOTAC is a technique that allows examining fixed fecal samples. We assessed the performance of Mini-FLOTAC using formalin-fixed s...
