Neglected tropical diseases in Uganda: the prospect and challenge of integrated control Kolaczinski JH; Kabatereine NB; Onapa AW; Ndyomugyenyi R; Kakembo AS; Brooker STrends Parasitol 2007[Oct]; 23 (10): 485-93So-called 'neglected tropical diseases' (NTDs) are becoming less neglected, with increasing political and financial commitments to their control. These recent developments were preceded by substantial advocacy for integrated control of different NTDs, on the premise that integration is both feasible and cost-effective. Although the approach is intuitively attractive, there are few countrywide experiences to confirm or refute this assertion. Using the example of Uganda, this article reviews the geographical and epidemiological bases for integration and assesses the potential opportunities for, and operational challenges of, integrating existing control activities for several of these diseases under an umbrella vertical programme.|Animals[MESH]|Bacterial Infections/drug therapy/epidemiology/*prevention & control[MESH]|Communicable Disease Control/*methods[MESH]|Helminthiasis/drug therapy/epidemiology/*prevention & control[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Protozoan Infections/drug therapy/epidemiology/*prevention & control[MESH]|Public Health/*methods[MESH]|Uganda/epidemiology[MESH] |
