Strategies to prevent disease transmission. While the role of VL in disease transmission is well established, the contributions of PKDL and asymptomatic cases in transmission are still not fully understood (1). The presence of asymptomatic and PKDL cases can increase the vulnerability of the population to the disease (2). Therefore, employing transmission-blocking strategies such as drugs, IRS, and ITNs can be effective in preventing disease transmission and reducing population susceptibility (3).
