Abstract
Epidemiology of Soil-Transmitted Helminthiasis and Taeniasis in Rural Communities near Ranomafana National Park, Madagascar with a Comparison of Kato-Katz Technique Against Spontaneous Sedimentation Technique
Highlights
Soil Transmitted Helminthiasis (STHs) and taeniasis are major health burdens in many developing settings
Rural communities near Madagascar’s Ranomafana National Park (RNP) struggle to meet the basic standards of health from a lack of road infrastructure and endemic infections of parasites. This July 2016 study determined the epidemiology of parasitic infections and compared two parasitological stool diagnostic techniques
The presentation is based on a study on prevention of mother to child transmission of HIV/AIDS (PMTCT) in Enugu state Nigeria
Summary
Soil Transmitted Helminthiasis (STHs) and taeniasis are major health burdens in many developing settings. Rural communities near Madagascar’s Ranomafana National Park (RNP) struggle to meet the basic standards of health from a lack of road infrastructure and endemic infections of parasites. This July 2016 study determined the epidemiology of parasitic infections and compared two parasitological stool diagnostic techniques. The presentation is based on a study on prevention of mother to child transmission of HIV/AIDS (PMTCT) in Enugu state Nigeria. Prevalence of HIV/AIDS among children in Nigeria remains high. Women’s constraint in access to PMTCT is linked to gender inequality constraining them from making vital decisions to prevent primary infection of HIV, community norms and health system factors. The overarching aim of this study is to explore factors constraining women’s access to PMTCT
