Although further evaluations are necessary using more accurate reference standard tests, these results indicate that the RDT could be a useful tool for the rapid prevalence-mapping of both S. mansoni and S. haematobium in schistosome-endemic areas.
NDM is reported almost worldwide but did not successfully spread in most countries of Europe except the United Kingdom and recently, France, as has been found in Enterobacteriaceae (2 ) and in nonfermenting gram-negative bacilli, with progression toward rapid global prevalence.
In Europe, 1-2 % of the general population is affected by HF with a rapid increase in prevalence for the older age groups [1, 2].
Due to this rapid increase in prevalence and geographic range of the disease, RHD can be considered an Emerging Infectious Diseases (EIDs) [8], a group of diseases usually facilitated by humans [2], [3], [8].
The rapid increase in prevalence of T2D is thought to be at least partly explained by the change in environmental factors (nutrition and life style) acting on genetically susceptible individuals, who may become obese and consequently develop insulin resistance and T2D.
This sort of rapid fluctuations in prevalence of different pneumococcal clones has been reported in previous studies [ 31].
Currently South Asia is experiencing a significant epidemic of diabetes with a rapid increase in prevalence over the last two decades [ 11].
The rapid increases in prevalence and cost have led several countries to develop national plans to address AD [ 2].
