PROJECT SUMMARY The proposed project will be implemented in priority sub - African countries. Prioritization of implementation sites is based on the CDC’s list of target countries. The project seeks to carry out strategic operation research that will provide evidence for NTD national control programs to fast track their progress towards controlling and eliminating of NTDs within their borders, by evaluating diagnostic tests for NTDs, testing approaches that may potentially supplement mass drug administration (MDA) as a strategy for control of vectors that cause NTDs and providing evidence for lower thresholds for stopping mass strategies such as MDAs. If lower thresholds are confirmed, savings would be made, and such resources could be diverted to other public health programs. This is especially important in Africa where resources can barely meet the demands on already constrained health systems. Proposed activities will be implemented in close liaison with national NTD program staff, as a means of building their capacity, to ensure knowledge and skill transfer, and sustenance of initiatives. The anticipated overall outcome of this project is reduced morbidity and mortality from NTDs, primarily in Africa, but in the world at large.

项目摘要 拟议的项目将在优先级子 - 非洲国家实施。实施的优先级 网站基于疾病预防控制中心的目标国家列表。 该项目旨在进行战略运营研究，以为NTD国家提供证据 控制程序以快速跟踪他们在控制和消除其内部的进度 边界，通过评估NTD的诊断测试，可能会补充质量的测试方法 药物管理（MDA）是控制媒介的策略，该媒介会导致NTD并提供证据 较低的阈值，以阻止大规模策略（例如MDA）。如果确认较低的阈值，请节省 将制作，并将这些资源转移到其他公共卫生计划中。尤其是 在非洲很重要的是，资源几乎无法满足对卫生系统的需求。 拟议的活动将与国家NTD计划人员密切联络，作为 建立他们的能力，确保知识和技能转移以及倡议的维持。 该项目的预期总体结果是NTD的发病率和死亡率降低，主要是 非洲，但在整个世界上。
