per 10,000 inhabitants. Mali eliminated the disease since 2001 but in 2011, it recorded 226 new cases. This has a serious involvement in term of disease spreading. Therefore, we undertook a cross sectional study in Kenieba health district, still above the WHO recommended elimination threshold to better understand the disease epidemiology and its associated potential factors. The study took place from October 2013 to September 2014. All consenting villagers, living in one of the selected villages were included and clinically examined for leprosy signs. A total of 8,457 participants were included in this cross-sectional survey. The median age was 14 varying 0 to 102 years. The sex ratio was equal to 0.92. Nine new leprosy cases corresponding to a new case detection rate of 10.64 per 10,000 population were diagnosed. Four of them were multibacillary leprosy and three were found positive to acid-fast bacilli. The estimated prevalence of leprosy was 24.83 per 10,000 population. Living in Kenieba city (RR = 0.97, CI = [0.95-0.99]), using a bicycle (RR = 0.96, CI = [0.93-0.99]) or other vehicle as transportation mean to reach the health center (RR = 0.96, CI = [0.93-0.99]) were protective factors signifi cantly associated with new leprosy cases. Other factors such as age, education status, gender, time to reach a health center were not associated with leprosy case. Six among the nine health workers questioned knew at least two clinical signs of leprosy, three, its therapeutic regimens and three claimed to have previously being trained in diagnosing the disease. Despite leprosy elimination as a public health problem at the country level, it remains highly endemic in the health district of Kenieba.","publication_name":"Annals of Dermatological Research","grobid_abstract_attachment_id":"69695053"},"document_type":"paper","pre_hit_view_count_baseline":null,"quality":"high","language":"en","title":"Leprosy persistence in the health district of Kenieba despite its elimination as a public health problem at the national level in Mali","broadcastable":false,"draft":null,"has_indexable_attachment":true,"indexable":true}}["work"];

To identify factors associated with leprosy in the Sene District in order to implement an effective strategy to eliminate leprosy from the district. Case-control study. The cases were selected from a register of active leprosy cases. Controls were matched for age, and sex. For every one case identified two controls were selected. Of the twenty four cases identified, eighteen (75%) were paucibacillary and six (25%) were multibacillary leprosy. Most of the leprosy lesions were found on the trunk (25%) and upper limbs (37.5%). 13(54.2%) of the cases were under twenty years old.

Leprosy is still endemic in Nigeria and particularly in some states such as Jigawa, kaduna, Kogi, Kano, Bauchi, Ebonyi and others. The study investigated the reasons adduced by health care providers about the prevalence and endemicity about leprosy cases in Kogi state. The study was guided by one research question and two research hypotheses. The study employed the descriptive research design of survey type. A sample of 60 health care providers was drawn from the population using the purposive sampling technique. A researcher developed questionnaire was used for the study which was adequately validated by three experts in health education and epidemiology and a reliability coefficient of 0.79r was obtained through the Pearson product moment correlation analysis. The questionnaires were administered by the researchers with the help of one research assistant. The administered questionnaires were retrieved and descriptively analysed using mean and standard deviation, while the research hypotheses were tested using T-test. The findings of the study revealed that late arrival of patients, stigmatization/discrimination, superstitious beliefs lack of awareness about the treatment poverty among others were reasons adduced by health care providers about the prevalence and endemicity of leprosy cases in Kogi state. The study further revealed that gender and location of health care providers do not significantly affect the reasons adduced about the prevalence and endemicity of leprosy cases in Kogi state. It was recommended that the government at all levels and health related non-government organizations should enhance health surveillance in communities and intensify health education in communities to eradicate impediments related to the prevalence and endemicity of leprosy cases such as correcting misconceptions and beliefs, eradicate discrimination and promote early report of leprosy victims to health facility.</p><div class="ds-related-work--ctas"><button class="ds2-5-text-link ds2-5-text-link--inline js-swp-download-button"

infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium leprae. The purpose of this study was to describe the epidemiological characteristics of leprosy in Benin from 2006 to 2018. Methods This descriptive retrospective study included data from January 2006 to December 2018. The data of all patients treated in the leprosy treatment centres (LTCs) of the Republic of Benin were obtained from the LTC registers and analysed using Stata/SE 11.0 software. Quantum GIS (Geographic Information System) version 2.18.23 software was used for mapping. The main indicators of leprosy were calculated according to the World Health Organization (WHO) recommendations. Results During the study period, a total of 2785 (annual average of 214) new cases of leprosy were diagnosed. The median age of the patients was 38 years, with extremes ranging from 6 to 88 years. The sex ratio (males/females) was 1.18 (1509/1276). The departments of Plateau, Atacora, and Zou were...</p><div class="ds-related-work--ctas"><button class="ds2-5-text-link ds2-5-text-link--inline js-swp-download-button" data-signup-modal="{"location":"wsj-grid-card-download-pdf-modal","work_title":"Trends of the leprosy control indicators in Benin from 2006 to 2018","attachmentId":93028080,"attachmentType":"pdf","work_url":"https://www.academia.edu/89182364/Trends_of_the_leprosy_control_indicators_in_Benin_from_2006_to_2018","alternativeTracking":true}"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">download</span><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">Download free PDF</span></button><a class="ds2-5-text-link ds2-5-text-link--inline js-wsj-grid-card-view-pdf" href="https://www.academia.edu/89182364/Trends_of_the_leprosy_control_indicators_in_Benin_from_2006_to_2018"><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">View PDF</span><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">chevron_right</span></a></div></div></div></div><div class="ds-sticky-ctas--wrapper js-loswp-sticky-ctas hidden"><div class="ds-sticky-ctas--grid-container"><div class="ds-sticky-ctas--container"><button class="ds2-5-button js-swp-download-button" data-signup-modal="{"location":"continue-reading-button--sticky-ctas","attachmentId":69695053,"attachmentType":"pdf","workUrl":null}">See full PDF</button><button class="ds2-5-button ds2-5-button--secondary js-swp-download-button" data-signup-modal="{"location":"download-pdf-button--sticky-ctas","attachmentId":69695053,"attachmentType":"pdf","workUrl":null}"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 20px" translate="no">download</span>Download PDF</button></div></div></div><div class="ds-below-fold--grid-container"><div class="ds-work--container js-loswp-embedded-document"><div class="attachment_preview" data-attachment="Attachment_69695053" style="display: none"><div class="js-scribd-document-container"><div class="scribd--document-loading js-scribd-document-loader" style="display: block;"><img alt="Loading..." src="//a.academia-assets.com/images/loaders/paper-load.gif" /><p>Loading Preview</p></div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div class="scribd--no-preview-alert js-preview-unavailable"><p>Sorry, preview is currently unavailable.
