Over 2 billion people are estimated to have been infected with at least one STH species. These parasites rely on the soil for part of their life cycle and are transmitted to humans through ova ingestion or skin penetration. Key risk factors include poor water, sanitation, hygiene practices, limited healthcare access, and poverty. Globally, STHs are primarily controlled through chemo-preventive deworming of high-risk groups in moderate (where prevalence of STHs is between 20 % and 50 %) to highly endemic areas (prevalence &gt;50 %). Despite the use of deworming to control the STHs in endemic areas, infections still occur. The aim of this article is to explore the potential for enhancing STH control and elimination as Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTDs) in endemic areas through an integrated approach—the One Health approach. The current control program has a single strategy of chemoprophylaxis; in the integrated approach to control of STHs, the parasite control strategies besides being based on the epidemiology of the parasite (endemicity), also include strategies based on the biology (transmission cycle) of the parasites and human behavior patterns in endemic areas. Through the involvement of local communities, healthcare authorities, and stakeholders, participatory approaches foster collaborative efforts to devise and implement control measures. By integrating this integrated approach into existing healthcare and educational initiatives, more effective results can be achieved. The promotion of health education, clean water access, improved sanitation, and hygiene awareness can further enhance control strategies and reduce STH prevalence sustainably. Here, we highlight the benefits of adopting an integrated (One Health) approach to tackle STHs in endemic areas. Through community empowerment and multi-sectorial collaboration, we can strengthen our collective efforts to combat STHs and alleviate the burden of these NTDs.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100655,"journal":{"name":"IJID One Health","volume":"2 ","pages":"Article 100021"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2949915124000052/pdfft?md5=ea874ccf58ae551290f7f885c1256d95&pid=1-s2.0-S2949915124000052-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140755765","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We initiated the first studies to assess the epidemiological risk of CCHF in Tunisia during the summer of 2014. Elevated titers of immunoglobulin M and immunoglobulin G anti-CCHFv were detected among patients with unexplained acute febrile and slaughterhouse workers, respectively. Subsequently, other studies performed in Tunisia have reported the detection of CCHFv RNA in ticks collected from dromedaries and varying seroprevalence rates in livestock, and in wildlife. These results substantiate our findings of human exposure to CCHFv in Tunisia. According to the proposed classification scheme for organizing countries into five categories by the level of evidence for CCHFv incidence, Tunisia is assigned level II based on serological cases. To consolidate this category, further studies are needed to detect, isolate, and characterize CCHFv in vectors, hosts, and humans within Tunisia.

Rajahram","doi":"10.1016/j.ijidoh.2023.100002","DOIUrl":"10.1016/j.ijidoh.2023.100002","url":null,"abstract":"<div><p>Infections caused by <em>Plasmodium falciparum, P. vivax, and P. malariae</em> have decreased globally following the successful roll-out of malaria elimination strategies. However, there have been increasing reports of human <em>P. knowlesi</em> infections across Southeast Asia; in some areas, it is now the only malaria species reported in humans. This is driven by land use change, forcing the simian macaque hosts and the <em>Anopheles</em> mosquito vectors into closer contact with humans, coupled with the potential loss of cross-protective immunity in countries approaching the elimination of human malaria species. <em>P. knowlesi</em> usually causes asymptomatic or mild disease in children, but adults may experience disease resembling severe falciparum malaria. It remains a public health burden on the local health systems, especially the need for rapid diagnosis and treatment to prevent severe disease. Following the introduction of polymerase chain reaction-based diagnostic technologies, other simian malarias such as <em>P. coatneyi, P. cynomolgi</em>, <em>P. inui, P. inui-</em>like and <em>P. simiovale</em> have also been found to cause natural human disease that had not previously been recognised. Furthermore, the discovery of <em>P. brasilianum</em> and <em>P. simium</em> as causes of naturally acquired malaria in South America has highlighted the need to incorporate a One Health approach to malaria control. This article reviews the clinical and epidemiological features of these malarias.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100655,"journal":{"name":"IJID One Health","volume":"1 ","pages":"Article 100002"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2949915123000021/pdfft?md5=3727ab76255a5cf55f5004d2d2333aa6&pid=1-s2.0-S2949915123000021-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74681300","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
