Integrated prevalence mapping of schistosomiasis, soil-transmitted helminthiasis and malaria in lakeside and island communities in Lake Victoria, Uganda.ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: It is widely advocated that integrated strategies for the control of neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) are cost-effective in comparison to vertical disease-specific programmes. A prerequisite for implementation of control interventions is the availability of baseline data of prevalence, including the population at risk and disease overlap. Despite extensive literature on the distribution of schistosomiasis on the mainland in Uganda, there has been a knowledge gap for the ...201122166365
intestinal schistosomiasis and soil-transmitted helminthiasis in ugandan schoolchildren: a rapid mapping assessment.even with a national control programme in place, intestinal schistosomiasis continues to be a major public health problem in school-aged children and other community members in uganda. this is especially the case in the environments around the great lakes, where disease transmission is high, such as lake victoria. moreover, in the most remote areas, some schools might periodically miss large-scale drug administrations owing to inaccessibility. to provide contemporary monitoring and surveillance ...200919908189
modeling the distribution of schistosoma mansoni and host snails in uganda using satellite sensor data and geographical information systems.the potential value of modis satellite sensor data on normalized difference vegetation index (ndvi) and land surface temperatures (lst) for describing the distribution of the schistosoma mansoni-"biomphalaria pfeifferi"/biomphalaria sudanica parasite-snail system in inland uganda, were tested by developing annual and seasonal composite models, and iteratively analysing for their relationship with parasite and snail distribution. the dry season composite model predicted an endemic area that produ ...200516044680
