Table 1.
• | A better mapping tool than Kato-Katz stool exam for S. mansoni |
• | A highly sensitive and specific diagnostic tool for use when approaching elimination of transmission |
• | Best means of PZQ distribution to gain & sustain morbidity control by MDA |
• | Best combination of interventions to eliminate S. haematobium and S. mansoni transmission |
• | How can we improve and best deliver effective snail control |
• | Better way to show impact of MDA on morbidity |
• | Does MDA impact schistosome population structures—as clues to the development of drug resistance |
• | Can snail data predict the effectiveness of MDA for a given village |
• | Rapid Answer Projects—analyzing existing data for: “double treatment”; “hemastix efficacy post-treatment campaigns”; “reinfection of adults with S. haematobium”; “uses and impact of niclosamide” |
