Description:CHAD REPORTS 37% FEWER DOG INFECTIONS IN JANUARY-MARCH 2017
In a welcome departure from experience since dog infections were first reported in Chad in 2012, Chad’s Guinea Worm Eradication Program (GWEP) reported 137 infected dogs (74% contained) in January- March 2017, which is 37% fewer than the 219 reported during the same period of 2016 (Figure 1). During the same quarter, the number of infected dogs reported from a cohort of villages under active surveillance during January-March 2016 and during 2017 declined by 40% (from 216 to 129) and the number of emerging Guinea worms declined by 42% (from 353 to 206). As shown in Figure 1, this apparent trend in reduced dog infections (compared to the year before) began in November 2016 and occurred in four of the last five months, except for a small increase in January.
