Abstract
Neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) are a diverse group of bacterial, parasitic and viral communicable diseases. They are widespread in tropical and subtropical countries where poverty, inadequate sanitation and hygiene are common. A group of these NTDs can be controlled by either innovation or intensified disease management at the level of the individual patient, or through interventions targeting most at-risk populations. Some of the amenable diseases that are targeted at the population level include the soil-transmitted helminthiasis (STH; caused by Ascaris lumbricoides, Trichuris trichiura and the hookworms (Nectator americanus and Ancylostoma duodenale) and schistosomiasis (SCH; caused by Schistsoma mansoni and Schistsoma haematobium). Due to nature of the biology, both diseases affect the same at-risk population, namely children and women of child bearing age. Although historical data highlight that both diseases are prevalent in Ethiopia, a nationwide control program has insufficiently matured.
