Abstract

As neglected tropical disease programs look to consolidate the successes of moving towards elimination, we need to understand the dynamics of transmission at low prevalence to inform surveillance strategies for detecting elimination and resurgence. In this special collection, modelling insights are used to highlight drivers of local elimination, evaluate strategies for detecting resurgence, and show the importance of rational spatial sampling schemes for several neglected tropical diseases (specifically schistosomiasis, soil-transmitted helminths, lymphatic filariasis, trachoma, onchocerciasis, visceral leishmaniasis, and gambiense sleeping sickness).

摘要

由于被忽视的热带病规划希望巩固消除的成功，我们需要了解低流行情况下的传播动态，以便为检测消除和死灰复燃的监测策略提供信息。在这个特别的收藏中，模型见解被用来强调局部消除的驱动因素，评估检测死灰复燃的策略，并展示合理的空间采样方案对几种被忽视的热带疾病（特别是血吸虫病、土源性蠕虫病、淋巴丝虫病、沙眼、盘尾丝虫病、内脏利什曼病和冈比亚昏睡病）。
