Greetings, my name is
Prof. David Molyneux,
and I'm giving a
talk on behalf of
my colleague Prof.
B. E. B. Nwoke,
who's a Professor of Public
Health Parasitology &
Entomology at the Imo
State University,
in Owerri, Nigeria.
He's a member of the
Mectizan Expert Committee,
and chair of the
Nigerian Onchocerciasis
Elimination Committee.
This talk is going to focus
on three other
groups of parasites,
neglected tropical
diseases, which have
required mapping to understand
their epidemiology.
0:41
The first slide
emphasizes what we hope
will be the outcome of you
listening to this talk,
and that's to understand
the procedures, techniques,
guidelines for mapping
schistosomiasis,
soil-transmitted
helminths, and trachoma.
You'll have a greater
knowledge of the concept of
mapping and integrated mapping
for neglected tropical diseases,
and the advantages
that approach presents
and appreciate how
new technologies have
improved the processes
of NTD mapping.
1:20
The first disease that
we're going to talk about
is schistosomes and
schistosomiasis.
Schistosomiasis is caused by
six species of the
parasite globally:
Schistosoma haematobium
and mansoni,
dominant in tropical Africa,
Schistosoma japonicum
found in Asia,
where in China it has been
successfully controlled,
Schistosoma mekongi
in the lower part
of the Mekong river basin,
and two other rarer
parasites in Africa,
Schistosoma intercalatum,
and Schistosoma guineensis,
which are of less public
health importance.
Increasingly though in
schistosomiasis in Africa,
human parasites are hybridizing
with animal parasites,
particularly bovine
schistosomes,
and we're not yet quite sure of
the epidemiological and
clinical significance
of these hybridizations.
