Bad news.
@BioRadLifeSci tells its customers that it will discontinue production of its rk39 rapid test for visceral #leishmaniasis next year.
The company invokes costly investments required by EU regulators. 🤔
#NTDs 1/4

[Julien Potet @julienpotet]

This is just another example of the long list of tools for neglected diseases abandoned by companies.
As #NTDs are not lucrative, companies are tempted to stop production when additional costs to upgrade production are needed. 4/4

Read our working paper on #zerocovid from 2020, which suggests that even setting a goal for elimination can be advantageous from a planning perspective https://t.co/CNK71fDuDc Drawing lessons from #beatNTDs

'Everything in the #COVID19 pandemic is about trust. Innovation is needed in behavioural science on how we as communities & individuals:
-understand epidemics & behave during them
-process information & advice
-build trust
That's as scientific as building vaccines'-@DrMikeRyan

Katie Gass at #ISNTDd3 : Diagnostic needs for (MDA-amendable) NTDs are "unique". Rather than perfect tests, we need to adapt the levers that impact test performance @katiegass @TFGH @ISNTD_Press

[Global Schistosomiasis Alliance @elimin8schisto]

First up in session 4 at today's @ISNTD_Press #isntdd3 is @katiegass @TFGH with 'Rethinking #NTDs #Diagnostics to achieve elimination'
✔️Specificity is key
✔️Consider the M&E tools
✔️🏃🏿‍♀️from single-test paradigm
✔️Adapt to reflect test performance
