Item type: Item , Assessment of a Leishmaniasis Reporting System in Tropical Bolivia Using the Capture-Recapture Method(American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 2017) Daniel Eid Rodríguez; Miguel Guzmán-Rivero; Ernesto Rojas; Isabel Goicolea; Anna‐Karin Hurtig; Daniel Illanes; Miguel San SebastiånThis study evaluates the level of underreporting of the National Program of Leishmaniasis Control (NPLC) in two communities of Cochabamba, Bolivia during the period 2013-2014. Montenegro skin test-confirmed cases of cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) were identified through active surveillance during medical campaigns. These cases were compared with those registered in the NPLC by passive surveillance. After matching and cleaning data from the two sources, the total number of cases and the level of underreporting of the National Program were calculated using the capture-recapture analysis. This estimated that 86 cases of CL (95% confidence interval [CI]: 62.1-110.8) occurred in the study period in both communities. The level of underreporting of the NPLC in these communities was very high: 73.4% (95% CI: 63.1-81.5%). These results can be explained by the inaccessibility of health services and centralization of the NPLC activities. This information is important to establish priorities among policy-makers and funding organizations as well as implementing adequate intervention plans.Item type: Item , Correction to: risk factors for cutaneous leishmaniasis in the rainforest of Bolivia: a cross-sectional study(BioMed Central, 2018) Daniel Eid Rodríguez; Miguel Guzmán-Rivero; Ernesto Rojas; Isabel Goicolea; Anna‐Karin Hurtig; Daniel Illanes; Miguel San SebastiånItem type: Item , Geographical inequities in cervical cancer screening coverage in Bolivia: a spatial nationwide ecological study(Pan American Health Organization, 2025) Carla Huanca Challgua; Ida Linander; Isabel Goicolea; Daniel Eid Rodríguez; Osvaldo Fonseca‐RodríguezBolivia is still a long way from achieving the World Health Organization target of 70% screening coverage.
