STHs and schistosomiasis
• Belong to the so-called neglected tropical diseases poverty-promoting, chronic, low- and middle-income countries
• STH most common infections worldwide (1/4 of the world population, 3.3 Mio DALYs); species infecting people are roundworm, whipworm and hookworms
• 240 million people infected by schistosomes (5 species infect humans), 700 Mio people live at-risk, 2.6 Mio DALYs

Control of schistosomiasis and STH
• Preventive chemotherapy cornerstone of control
• Other interventions, i.e. improvement of access to clean water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) and health education, in addition to mollusciciding in the case of schistosomiasis reduce transmission

Schistosomiasis in preschoolers
Key messages
● Schistosomiasis is governed by social–ecological contexts, linked with poverty and lack of essential social services and infrastructure (clean water, improved sanitation, hygiene, and health systems)
● High risk of population living in close proximity to small rivers and standing freshwater bodies on which people depend for their daily occupational and recreational activities
● Infections occurs very early in childhood hence young children need to be treated
![Page 10: Rudolf Geigy Award 2016 - Swiss TPH · Rudolf Geigy Award 2016 ... Tools for the control and elimination of STH and ... PSAC: 43% had urinary tract morbidity, 7% kidney](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022013015/5b2fd04d7f8b9ac06e8db2a8/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)

Key messages Ultrasound at baseline: ● PSAC: 43% had urinary tract morbidity, 7% kidney enlargement.
● SAC: 66% presented urinary tract pathology, 4% pseudopolyps on the bladder wall, 6% had pyelo dilatation.
Ultrasound at follow up (6 months post-treatment): ● Significant correlation (p<0.05) was observed between praziquantel treatment and reversal of S. haematobium induced morbidity
● Progression of urinary tract pathology decreased with increasing praziquantel dosages
● A worsening of morbidity was observed among children in the placebo group

Praziquantel in preschoolers
Key messages ● Crushed praziquantel is efficacious against both schistosome species in preschool-aged children ● Unwanted adverse events in non-infected children following praziquantel administration, call for selective treatment among preschoolers ● New research is needed to accurately determine the frequency and severity of adverse events related to praziquantel in preschoolers ● There is a need to develop a safe and user-friendly formulation of praziquantel for the very young children and evaluate the correct dose
![Page 13: Rudolf Geigy Award 2016 - Swiss TPH · Rudolf Geigy Award 2016 ... Tools for the control and elimination of STH and ... PSAC: 43% had urinary tract morbidity, 7% kidney](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022013015/5b2fd04d7f8b9ac06e8db2a8/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

PZQ for preschoolers: DF studies Key messages ● Diagnostic limitations of Kato-Katz, high CR and ERR in the placebo group
● Significantly lower cure rates with POC CCA
● No difference in mild adverse events seen among treatment arms (Diarrhea, cough, fever mostly observed) ● All adverse events absorbed after 24 hoours ● Our study supports the use of praziquantel at 40 mg/kg for schistosomiasis morbidity control in SAC ● emax modelling suggest that PSAC require a higher dose of praziquantel.
![Page 14: Rudolf Geigy Award 2016 - Swiss TPH · Rudolf Geigy Award 2016 ... Tools for the control and elimination of STH and ... PSAC: 43% had urinary tract morbidity, 7% kidney](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022013015/5b2fd04d7f8b9ac06e8db2a8/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

Need of new diagnostic tools
● Epidemiology: targeting intervention ● Diagnosis: who should be treated? ● Treatment outcome: does intervention work (programme M&E vs clinical research setting)
Need of new diagnostic tools as alternative to the commonly used Kato-Katz technique in a context of schistosomiasis elimination
![Page 15: Rudolf Geigy Award 2016 - Swiss TPH · Rudolf Geigy Award 2016 ... Tools for the control and elimination of STH and ... PSAC: 43% had urinary tract morbidity, 7% kidney](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022013015/5b2fd04d7f8b9ac06e8db2a8/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
15
Need of new diagnostic tools Kato-Katz technique Advantages ● Specific, quantitative ● Available ● Affordable Disadvantages ● Variable sensitivity ● Multiple samples needed ● Labour-intensive ● Trained technicians ● Fluctuation in egg excretion
VS
CAA/CCA test ● detection of schistosome gut antigen CAA/CCA excretory antigens, living worms ● CAA/CCA are very stable ● present in serum and urine, limited day-to-day variation ● markers of active infection – decrease after treatment ● levels correlate with worm and egg counts
CCA in worm gut CAA excreted by worm in liver vein

16
Key messages POC-CCA ● The POC-CCA can become a useful test for S. mansoni diagnosis ● Still need to be evaluated in low S. mansoni-infected communities POC-CCA recommended by WHO for rapid mapping of schistosomiasis UCP-CAA ● seems to be a tool to detect single worm infections => Need assessment in different endemicity settings
Need of new diagnostic tools

Need of new diagnostic tools
VS 11 operating steps with FLOTAC techniques
7 operating steps of mF techniques mini-FLOTAC Devices
Gringoli et al., 2010
mini-FLOTAC (mF) technique: from 11 to 7 operating steps
![Page 18: Rudolf Geigy Award 2016 - Swiss TPH · Rudolf Geigy Award 2016 ... Tools for the control and elimination of STH and ... PSAC: 43% had urinary tract morbidity, 7% kidney](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022013015/5b2fd04d7f8b9ac06e8db2a8/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
18
Need of new diagnostic tools
Key messages ● Mini-FLOTAC, a useful tool for an accurate diagnosis of major helminth infections and intestinal protozoa ● Can be employed on fixed stool samples, which may reduce logistical and financial barriers to epidemiological surveys ● Comparable accuracy to the more labour-intensive Kato-Katz technique ● Performance of mini-FLOTAC technique on SAF-fixed stool samples with and without a centrifugation step in comparison to the Kato-Katz method needs further scientific inquiry ● Costs and cost-effectiveness studies to assess the usefulness of Mini-FLOTAC on preserved stool samples for public health initiatives and helminthiases control programmes are warranted

19
Need of new diagnostic tools
Key messages ● Portable diagnostic devices hold promise for enabling care in remote and resource constrained settings ●The Newton portable microscope demonstrated sufficient diagnostic performance for S. mansoni, S. haematobium and T. trichiura vs standard light microscopy should be studied further in different clinical and epidemiological settings ● The mobile phone (iphone 5S) microscope performed only modestly well at moderate-to-high infection intensities for S. mansoni and T. trichiura ● Newer, low-cost technologies are in the pipeline for global health applications

Community-led total sanitation (CLTS)
• Participatory approach to achieve and sustain open defecation free (ODF) status of communities (Chambers & Kar, 2008)
• Facilitates the critical analysis by the community of own sanitation-profile, defecation practices and consequences, collective action to become ODF (e.g. construction of latrines)
