Vaccination or mass drug administration against schistosomiasis: a hypothetical cost-effectiveness modelling comparison

Abstract: BackgroundSchistosomiasis is a neglected tropical disease, targeted by the World Health Organization for reduction in morbidity by 2020. It is caused by parasitic flukes that spread through contamination of local water sources. Traditional control focuses on mass drug administration, which kills the majority of adult worms, targeted at school-aged children. However, these drugs do not confer long-term protection and there are concerns over the emergence of drug resistance. The development of a vaccine against … Show more

“…Types of economic evaluation. Twelve of the papers were primarily CEAs [19][20][21][22]24,25,29,30,[33][34][35][36]. Three studies conducted cost-benefit analyses (CBA) alongside either a (cost-utility analysis) CUA or CEA, which expressed the benefits in monetary values and utilised a benefit-cost ratio [22,23,35].…”

“…A única estratégia medicamentosa de controle atual da esquistossomose, desde 1970, é o tratamento em massa dos infectados com praziquantel, não totalmente eficaz, pois não confere proteção a longo prazo, gerando o risco de reinfecção e resistência ao fármaco. Além disso, o fármaco age somente em vermes adultos, não atingindo o esquistossômulo, a forma jovem do parasita, logo após a penetração da cercária 2,7,8,9 .…”

“…O desenvolvimento de uma vacina contra a esquistossomose, considerada uma vacina anti pobreza, devido à incidência da DOI: 10.53843/bms.v7i10.214 doença em países subdesenvolvidos e à profilaxia associada à medidas de higiene pessoal e saneamento básico, apresenta-se, portanto, como uma forma potencial de controle da doença, podendo gerar imunidade duradoura a nível populacional, promovendo saúde globalizada e avanço econômico 8,10,11 . Dessa forma, o presente trabalho busca responder à questão: "Quais vacinas contra a esquistossomose estão em desenvolvimento no atual momento?".…”

“…Schistosomiasis IBMs are important as they can be used to inform policymakers and programme managers on priority questions, such as recommendations for treatment guidelines and surveillance criteria for detecting elimination. Several IBMs of schistosome infection exist in the literature ( Collyer et al., 2019 , Hu et al., 2010 , Kura, Truscott, Toor, & Anderson, 2019 , Vlas et al., 1996 , Wang and Spear, 2015 ), though they are not readily available for public use. As such, there is a need for an individual based framework for schistosomiasis that is publicly accessible.…”
