2nd edition. The purpose of this document is to provide a generic model that can be used for risk assessment of larviciding and mollusciciding; it aims to harmonize the risk assessment of such pesticides for public health use. The assessment considers both adults and children (all age groups) as we...
This protocol is to help researchers working with freshwater gastropods related to the transmission of schistosomes, and particularly those looking at extracting high quality intact DNA for next generation sequencing purposes. This protocol offers a general outline that can be tailored to the conten...

This review highlights common diagnostic
approaches for detecting schistosomiasis in field and clinical settings, major challenges,
and provides new and novel opportunities and diagnosis pathways that will be critical in sup-
porting elimination of schistosomi...

A planner’s guide to proposal development for national school-based deworming programs
he tool will also provide visualization of the results after the SPPA is carried out. This protocol helps to plan surveys and mass drug administration activities that are more efficient and effective than what is done currently. The tool is being piloted in Kenya for schistosomiasis and designed suc...
A manual for impact assessments. The SCH Practical and Precision Assessment (SPPA) strategy is an evidence-based approach for conducting impact assessments for SCH. The SPPA was identified by programme managers and SCH experts from the African region as a feasible and sufficiently accurate approach ...
Information for policy-makers and planners on conducting deworming as part of an integrated
school health program
The objective of this manual is to guide managers of schistosomiasis and soil-transmitted helminthiases control programmes towards the elimination of these diseases as public health problems informed by evidence generated through monitoring and evaluation of these programmes. The manual complements ...
