“…65 Recently, some have argued that more attention must be paid to prevention of certain IDs, where, for instance, environmental interventions can reduce the need for clinical care. 66 These arguments resonate strongly with similar calls for NCD prevention measures that take a structural approach, especially those outside the health sector. 10,65 Strategies for intervention should consider underlying risk factors applicable for both ID and NCDs, such as demographic and environmental factors, and screening high-risk individuals for both IDs and NCDs could help to guide treatment and long-term follow-up.…”

“…Most of the two and a half billion dollars disbursed each year to treat and control neglected tropical diseases [96, 97] is directed toward mass drug administration. Although treatment has been effective, control has not, because there is not enough praziquantel to reach all 800 million people at risk today and drugs, alone, cannot address the environmental components of transmission [98, 99]. Coupling drug delivery with snail control has proven effective in the past, and seems the most cost effective option for the future global fight against schistosomiasis.…”

“…These campaigns have succeeded in reducing global morbidity due to helminth infections. However MDA is unlikely to break cycles of STH transmission unless coupled with environmental measures to interrupt acquisition of new infections [4-6]. This is in part because STH ova are extremely resistant to environmental stressors, and may survive for years in soils [7].…”
