Diagnostic dilemmas in helminthology: what tools to use and when?
[dracunculiasis]
Available
data
regarding
the
distribution
,
prevalence
and
severity
of
various
diseases
are
based
on
the
performance
and
operational
characteristics
of
the
diagnostic
techniques
applied
;
this
is
a
fact
that
is
particularly
apparent
in
the
study
of
helminth
infections
.
An
important
lesson
learnt
from
the
efforts
to
rein
in
dracunculiasis
,
lymphatic
filariasis
and
schistosomiasis
is
that
the
diagnostic
approach
needs
to
be
changed
as
further
progress
is
made
towards
control
and
ultimate
elimination
of
the
disease
.
This
insight
prompted
the
opinion
piece
presented
here
,
which
highlights
diagnostic
dilemmas
in
helminthology
related
to
the
stage
of
control
achieved
and
sets
out
some
research
needs
.
