Dear editor, The Ebola virus (EBOV) is the cause of Ebola virus disease (EVD), which is found in the Filoviridae family along with the Marburg virus (MARV). The virus is transmitted primarily by direct contact with blood or other body fluids such as vomit, urine, semen and sweat from infected patients or animals considered as natural reservoirs (fruit bats of the family Pteropodidae), and other wild animals (chimpanzees, monkeys, antelopes, etc.) thus increasing the risk of transmission during patient care, consumption of infected game meat or traditional burial practices[1]. The first recorded EBOV outbreak occurred in 1976 in Northern Zaire, now known as the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and Southern Sudan where it resulted in approximately 430 deaths[2]. Since then, there have been other EBOV outbreaks, mainly in tropical regions of sub-Saharan Africa, including the 1995 Kikwit outbreak, which killed 245 of the 317 infected people and the 2000 Uganda outbreak that killed 224 of the 425 infected persons. The most recent outbreak (2014–2016) was the largest recorded to date, killing more than 11 316 people out of 28 639 infected, although these numbers are almost certainly underestimated due to difficulties in presenting epidemiological data, however according to data from the World Health Organization (WHO), up to 2016 there have been 11 323 deaths related to this infection (Figure 1), and the WHO Consultative Group on Response to the EVD[3].","PeriodicalId":8561,"journal":{"name":"Asian Pacific Journal of Tropical Disease","volume":"7 1","pages":"811-812"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45530937","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Of the 1.5 billion infected, about 270 million and 600 million are preschool and school-aged children, respectively. Conditions relating to the epidemiology of STH are mostly linked to poverty as sufferers are mainly from the world’s most impoverished regions[1]. The Americas, China, East Asia and sub-Saharan Africa account for over 56% of the STH infection globally[2]. The developmental stages of the nematodes causing STH are partly in the soil and in vertebrate host(s). In worse case scenarios, STH may impact on the mental health of children as well as bring about malnutrition leading to growth retardation[3,4]. Among neglected tropical diseases, STH accounts for the highest disability adjusted life years (DALYs), which include years of life lost due to mortality (YLLs) and years lived with disability (YLDs)[5]. Despite having the highest DALYs of approximately 5.2 million in comparison to schistosomiasis (3.3 million DALYs), lymphatic filariasis (2.8 million DALYs) and onchocerciasis (0.5 million DALYs)[5], STH receives relatively less attention in aspects of monitoring and treatment[6]. In Nigeria, the need to appraise prevalence data overtime is now imperative as this would inform on the possible gains/losses that have been made. Further, the challenges of current diagnostic methods used in the country with the problem of drug resistance in achieving the elimination goal are thus highlighted.","PeriodicalId":8561,"journal":{"name":"Asian Pacific Journal of Tropical Disease","volume":"7 1","pages":"841-848"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44190292","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
