Hello. My name is
Prof. David Molyneux.
I'm editor of the
NTD HS Talks series,
and I'm recording
this presentation
on behalf of Prof.
B. E. B. Nwoke,
a Professor of Public Health,
Parasitology, and Entomology
at the Biological Sciences
Department, Imo State University,
in Owerri, Nigeria.
He's a member of the
Mectizan Expert Committee,
and Chair of the Nigerian
Onchocerciasis Elimination Committee.

At the end of this talk,
you should be able to
understand the importance
of mapping for Neglected
Tropical Diseases,
particularly those
preventive chemotherapy NTDs
which are the focus of
mass drug administration.
These programs have arisen
from the availability
of preventive chemotherapy
against five diseases,
which we'll discuss
during this lecture.
The purpose of the lecture
is to enable students
to understand the concept
of mapping of diseases
and why we map for the
distribution of NTDs.
For them to appreciate
the diagnostic procedures
that have been developed
over the past two decades
for these neglected diseases,
and understand those
procedures and guidelines
and their importance in the
success of the programs.
This lecture will focus
on three infections:
onchocerciasis,
loiasis, or tropical eye worm,
and lymphatic filariasis.

Mapping is an activity or
process of making a map,
to allow the collection
of data that is linked to
a particular
geographic location.
Mapping has been used,
and continues to be used,
in the study of many
human diseases,
to ensure that those
practitioners working on programs
know the incidence and the
prevalence of these infections.
It's been a long path of
public health activities,
because it enables to
understand the epidemiology
of the diseases under study.
Mapping has developed,
over the recent decades,
using new technologies,
particularly geographical
information systems
and computers which
allow storage of data,
the capture of data,
and then the analysis and
presentation of data,
particularly data in
relation to space.
