1 Projected number of people with onchocerciasisloiasis co-infection in Africa, Natalie Vinkeles Melchers, Afework H Tekle, Luc E Coffeng, Sébastien DS Pion, Honorat GM Zouré, Belén Pedrique, Michel Boussinesq, Samuel Wanji, Jan Remme, Wilma A Stolk Natalie Vinkeles Melchers, MSc. MPH.
2 What is the problem? Loa loa: prevalence of history of African eye worm Onchocerciasis: prevalence of palpable nodules Zouré et al (2011) PLoS NTD 5 (6) Zouré et al (2014) Parasites & Vectors 7 (326)
3 Study aim To estimate the number of individuals with onchocerciasis and Loa loa coinfections in Africa in 2015 and 2025, who are at risk for serious adverse events after treatment with ivermectin. At risk-for serious adverse events: threshold of 20,000 Loa microfilariae/ml
4 Loa loa : estimate prevalence of high-intensity loiasis infection Based on: Wanji 2001 UNDP Takougang et al Bull WHO 2002
5 Onchocerciasis: estimate O. volvulus mf prevalence Baseline prevalence Coffeng et al et al PLoS NTD 2013 Pre-control prevalence of palpable nodule: model-based geostatistical analysis at 1x1 km resolution Conversion of nodule prevalence in adult males+20 yrs to mf prevalence in population
6 Estimating pre-control prevalence of microfilaremic Loa infected and co-infected persons
7 Loa loa: impact of ivermectin on Loa loa infection Baseline assumption: Ivermectin reduces loiasis prevalence and intensity with first treatment round only Mf intensity levels pretreatment Fraction of population by mf intensity category, one year post-treatment > >500-2,000 >2,000-10,000 >10,000-30,000 >30, > >500-2, >2,000-10, >10,000-30, >30,
8 Prevalence of MF (%) Onchocerciasis: impact of ivermectin on O. volvulus infection Treatment history ONCHOSIM Predicted trend in prevalence after ivermectin treatment (Onchosim simulations for annual treatment at 70% coverage) CMFL 3 CMFL 5 CMFL 10 CMFL 30 CMFL 50 CMFL Kim et al (2015 ) PLoS NTD 9 (4) Years of ivermectin treatment Tekle et al (2016 ) Inf. Dis. Poverty 5 (66)
9 Estimating pre-control prevalence (1995) of infected cases L. loa 20,000 mf/ml Onchocerciasis - L. loa 20,000 mf/ml
10 Estimating the current situation (2015) of infected cases L. loa 20,000 mf/ml Onchocerciasis - L. loa 20,000 mf/ml
11 Estimating the future situation (2025) of infected cases L. loa 20,000 mf/ml Onchocerciasis - L. loa 20,000 mf/ml
12 Precontrol No effect of ivm Effect 1st round Tx Exponen tial effect No effect of ivm Effect 1st round Tx Exponen tial effect Number of co-infected cases with high L. loa mf/ml intensities Sensitivity analysis >=8,000-<20,000 Loa mf/ml 20,000 - <30,000 Loa mf/ml 30,000 Loa mf/ml
13 Precontrol No effect of ivm Effect 1st round Tx Exponen tial effect No effect of ivm Effect 1st round Tx Exponen tial effect Number of co-infected cases with high L. loa mf/ml intensities Sensitivity analysis >=8,000-<20,000 Loa mf/ml 20,000 - <30,000 Loa mf/ml 30,000 Loa mf/ml
14 Precontrol No effect of ivm Effect 1st round Tx Exponen tial effect No effect of ivm Effect 1st round Tx Exponen tial effect Number of co-infected cases with high L. loa mf/ml intensities Sensitivity analysis >=8,000-<20,000 Loa mf/ml 20,000 - <30,000 Loa mf/ml 30,000 Loa mf/ml
15 Conclusion In 2025: - - Loa+ cases 20,000 mf/ml : 203, Co-infected cases (Loa 20,000 mf/ml) : 24, % of all co-infected cases in onchocerciasis hypoendemic area: 89.5% - - At-risk population living in areas were MDA with ivermectin is contraindicated : ~10 million
16 Discussion Strategies for areas that are low endemic for onchocerciasis and coendemic for L. loa (and were MDA in contraindicated) - New drugs (e.g. macrofilaricides) - - Test-and-(not)-Treat - - Vector control Strategic implications - R&D: absolute number of individuals - Policy makers: relative proportion at risk
