Using an appropriate diagnostic tool is essential to soil-transmitted helminth control and elimination efforts. Kato-Katz (KK) is the most commonly used diagnostic, but recently other tools, such as real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (multiplex qPCR), are starting to be employed more. Here, we evaluated the performance of these two diagnostic tools for five helminth species in Thailand.

- The study investigates the impact of COVID-19 public health measures (hand hygiene, masks, physical distancing) on respiratory infections in Thailand, examining data from 2016 to 2021.
- Hospitalization cases for six respiratory diseases (influenza, measles, pertussis, pneumonia, scarlet fever, and tuberculosis) showed an average 61% drop, with significant reductions in most diseases but not in TB.
- The findings suggest that the public health measures effectively reduced the spread of respiratory diseases, indicating that such practices can significantly lower the incidence of infections in the future.
