Hepatitis C elimination – Macro‐elimination [PDF]

Liver International, 2020
AbstractIn 2016 the WHO set a goal to obtain an 80% reduction in new chronic HCV cases, requiring a level of diagnosis of 90%, treatment coverage of 80% and resulting in a 65% reduction in HCV‐related deaths by 2030. This goal is easier to reach in specific populations such as people who inject drugs (PWID), men who have sex with men (MSM) or blood ...

Eliminating Leprosy? [PDF]

Skin Health and Disease, 2021
I read with great interest, the study by Mowla MR et al.1 Unfortunately, the World Health Organization (WHO)'s rhetoric in the relevant programme has led to the impression, at least in some quarters, that leprosy no longer exists. Furthermore, it is likely that neither funders nor young researchers are attracted to an officially 'eliminated' disease ...

ELIMINATING DISJUNCTIONS BY DISJUNCTION ELIMINATION

The Bulletin of Symbolic Logic, 2017
AbstractCompleteness and other forms of Zorn’s Lemma are sometimes invoked for semantic proofs of conservation in relatively elementary mathematical contexts in which the corresponding syntactical conservation would suffice. We now show how a fairly general syntactical conservation theorem that covers plenty of the semantic approaches follows from an ...

Malaria case investigation with reactive focal testing and treatment: operational feasibility and lessons learned from low and moderate transmission areas in Amhara Region, Ethiopia

Malaria Journal, 2018
Background When malaria transmission is very low, investigation of passively detected malaria cases and reactive focal testing and treatment (FTAT) in the case and neighbouring households can identify and contain the source and spread of infections ...

District-level approach for tailoring and targeting interventions: a new path for malaria control and elimination

Malaria Journal, 2020
Despite huge investments and implementation of effective interventions for malaria, progress has stalled, with transmission being increasingly localized among difficult-to-reach populations and outdoor-biting vectors.

Experiences of liver health related uncertainty and self-reported stress among people who inject drugs living with hepatitis C virus: a qualitative study

BMC Infectious Diseases, 2018
Background People who inject drugs (PWID) are most at risk of hepatitis C virus infection in Australia. The introduction of transient elastography (TE) (measuring hepatitis fibrosis) and direct acting antiviral medications will likely alter the ...

Eliminating malaria vectors [PDF]

Parasites & Vectors, 2013
Malaria vectors which predominantly feed indoors upon humans have been locally eliminated from several settings with insecticide treated nets (ITNs), indoor residual spraying or larval source management. Recent dramatic declines of An. gambiae in east Africa with imperfect ITN coverage suggest mosquito populations can rapidly collapse when forced below

Cross-border movement, economic development and malaria elimination in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia

BMC Medicine, 2018
Malaria at international borders presents particular challenges with regards to elimination. International borders share common malaria ecologies, yet neighboring countries are often at different stages of the control-to-elimination pathway.
