Deworming is not a risk factor for the development of atopic diseases: a longitudinal study in Cuban schoolchildren Institute of Tropical Medicine
From research to farm: ex ante evaluation of strategic deworming in pig finishing Research Institute for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food
This paper upgrades generic and partial information from parasitological research for farm-specific decision support, using two methods from managerial sciences: partial budgeting and frontier analysis. The analysis focuses on strategic deworming in pig finishing and assesses both effects on economic performance and nutrient efficiency. The application of partial budgeting and frontier analysis is based on a production-theoretical system ...
Effect of deworming on atopy, asthma, allergic rhinoconjunctivitis and atopic dermatitis in Cuban children Institute of Tropical Medicine
Designing and monitoring large-scale deworming programs for soil-transmitted helminthiasis and schistosomiasis in Ethiopia Ghent University
A general framework to support cost-efficient fecal egg count methods and study design choices for large-scale STH deworming programs-monitoring of therapeutic drug efficacy as a case study Ghent University
Background Soil-transmitted helminth (STH) control programs currently lack evidence-based recommendations for cost-efficient survey designs for monitoring and evaluation. Here, we present a framework to provide evidence-based recommendations, using a case study of therapeutic drug efficacy monitoring based on the examination of helminth eggs in stool. Methods We performed an in-depth analysis of the operational costs to process one stool sample ...
Maternal postpartum deworming and infant milk intake : secondary outcomes from a trial Ghent University
The World Health Organization recommends deworming to reduce soil-transmitted helminth (STH)-attributable morbidity in women of reproductive age, including pregnant and lactating women, to reduce blood loss, iron deficiency anaemia and nutrient malabsorption. This study assessed the impact of maternal postpartum deworming with albendazole approximately 1 day after delivery on infant milk intake among a subset of 216 randomly selected ...
