Rapid Epidemiological Mapping of Onchocerciasis (REMO) reJinement and Rapid Assessment Procedure for Loiasis (RAPLOA) were carried out in some Procvinces of Angola, November 9 - December 16, 2003 supported by WHO African Programme for Onchocerciasis Control (APOC)

A total of 23 persons were trained in the RAPLOA Jield procedure and techniques during the mission viz: 9 nationals, 14 Provincial staff members, 7 each from und Lunda Sul.

With the avaliabe REMO results and topographical maps of Angola, on-the-spot analysis of the data was done to jine tune the deJinite CDTI , no CDTI arefls, and areas that require REMO reJinement as well as un-inhabited areas.

REMO reJinement was carried out in accessible selected villages in Cunene, Huila, Cuando Cubango and Provinces during the mission. The results are going to be integrated with the existing REMO data of Angola into Atlus GIS/IIealth Mapper by APOC to deJine the CDTI areas. However, it not was possible to conduct REMO rejinement/validation in becuuse the Temporary Advisors had no security clearance to work in the selected villages while in Lunda Norte no field work coald be done as a result of logistical limitions

RAPLOA study was conducted in Csbinda und Lunda Sul. Of the 24 selected RAPLOA villages in Cabinda, 4 were inaccessible at the time of the study. Out of the 20 villages that were studied, only the village of Fubo had percentage history of eye worm lower thun the threshold of 40% for possible severe adverse effect (SAE). Four villages had a prevulence of history of eye worm above 40% and below 60%, Fifteen villages had prevalence of history of eye worm sbove 60%. AU these 19 villages have percentage history of eye worm >40% threshold for SAEs following CDTI In the province of Lunda Sul, 65 villages were selected for the RAPLOA study, out of which, 28 were studied. 37 were inacessible at the time of the study. Of these , there was no history of eye worm (0.0%o) in 8 villages while in the remaining 27 villuges studied, <20% (1 - 16.8%0) of the respondents reported history of eye worm. No village studied in lunda Sul had up to the 40% threshold. The present result on RAPLOA in the coatry is instructive 2.0 MISSION OBJECTIVES

The objectives of the present mission were :

2.1To train and supervise Angolan Nationals to execute Rapid Assessment Procedure for Loiasis (RAPLOA) in the Provinces of Cabinda, Lunda Norte and Lunda Sul.

Z.2Workwith APOC Management to facilitate the spatial presentation of REMO communities and "to conduct on-the-site analysis of the data."

2.3 Support the NOTF Angola to refine the Rapid Epidemiological Mapping of Onchocerciasis (REMO) Map.

3.0 MATERIALS AND METHODS

The , and the study area of the present exercise, were presented in otlr 2002 mission report

3.1 RAPLOA TRAINING

During the present mission, a two-day intensive RAPLOA traning course was organized in for the Nationals (NOCP, NGDO and the Provincial Staff from Cabinda, Lunda Norte and Lunda Sul). During this training, the participants were exposed to the basic clinical aspects and epidemiology of Loiasis as well as the biology and ecology of the vector flies, Chrysaps. The main components of the training were the objectives, procedures and techniques of the Rapid Assessment

Procedure for Loiasis (RAPLOA). The following support documents were used : - WHO(2001) Rapid Assessment Procedurefor Loiasis - WHO(2002) Guidelines for Rapid Assessment of Loa loa With the use of the photograph of the eye worTn and the RAPLOA forms, participants were taught how to successfully conduct a RAPLOA interview in the selected villages, as well as filling out the RAPLOA forms. Training at the Provincial level involved interviewers who were all from the Provincial Directorate of Public Health. At the end of the training, the trained team executed RAPLOA in the field.

A full description of the methods of executing RAPLOA was presented in previous study reports (Takougang,2003 a, b). The selection of study villages gave priority to the villages selected for the REMO exercise as they were sufficiently representative and took into account topographical data. After the training, a plan of execution of coverage of selected villages was designed, discussed with the provincial team and amended as necessary.

3.2 ON.THE.SITE ANALYSIS OF THE REMO DATA AND REVISION OF THE REMO MAP

Working together with HonoratZoure (BIM/APOC) and with the help of the topographical maps of Angola, we were able to identify other parks and uninhabited areas which hitherto were classified as outstanding REMO areas. These included areas in Bie, Cuando Cuando, Cunene, Huila and Moxico Provinces. This also helped to refine the initial REMO map of the country. The actual areas or zones where REMO was pending or to be refined were identified risee Appedix 7.5). Additional villages where REMO refinement was needed were selected, together with those in which it was necessary to conduct RAPLOA. Because Mr. Zoure left for Ouag:rdougou in the middle of the mission, the on-the-site integration and analysis of the data generated during the present mission was not possible.

3.3 REMO REFINEMENT

With the refinement of the REMO map, it became clear that there were areas in Lunda Norte, Moxico, Huila, Cunene, Bengo and Cuando Cuabango Provinces that required REMO refinement. The REMO villages were selected for these areas and their Latitudes and Longitudes calculated ( in the absence of enough GPS). Finally, REMO was conducted in all the accessible villages in these Provinces. 3.4 REMO/ RAPLOA FIELD EXERCISE

Before the field exercise, we had to attend a UN Security briefing as well as a IIN mandatory computer-interactive security training session (with certificate given at the end as a prerequisite for security clearance)(see Appendix 7.6). In addition we had to submit our itinerary before any clearance was given. Some of the areas were not accessible becauso of landmines and thus security clearance was limited (see Appendix 7.7). Furthermore, the immigration policy of Angola affected our plans. On arrival, we were given only 15 days in the first instmce- up to November 25. This meant that we could not stay in the field beyond November 24 . lt also meant that after the first l5 days we had to apply for an extension of our visas to cover the last period of our stay in Angola.

Against this backdrop, we planned our REMO/RAPLOA field exercise in two phases ( as listed under) believing that the renewal of the visas, according to our host was going to take us at most 2-4 days:

Phase I. REMO in Huila, Cunene, Cuando Cubango and Moxico and RAPLOA in Cabinda.

Phase II. nnUO in Bengo, RAPLOA in Lunda Sul and REMO/.RAPLOA in Lunda Norte.

The phase I was planned for November 18 - 24, but we did not travel until November 20 because of logistical problems. Because of the renewal of our visas we traveled to Luanda on November 24 while the National team remained behind in Cunene/Hiula to cornplete the exercise. We did not supervise the REMO field work in Moxico because we had no security clearance for this Province. Two NOTF members, were, therefore, sent to Moxico for 10 days (November 20-30) to work with the Provincial and District staff.

Phase II was planned for November 28- December 9 but we never got our visas renewed until December 2,2003. We left for the phase II field work on December 3/4.

At the end of the phase I we realized that the National team left be:hind to complete the outstanding REMO refinement in Hiula and Cunene Provinces (when the faciUtating consultant went to Luanda to re-apply for his visa), the refinement in Cunene was not carried out. One of the consultants had to lead a team back to Cunene to clear the gray area. It was planned that Drs. Hortentia and Cani (both NOCP members) were to lead the teams for the RAPLOA field work in Lunda Sul while Mr Marcello (the Provincial staff from Lunda Norte trained in REMO and RAPLOA) who conducted REMO exercise in the Province was to lead the team for REMO refinement/ RAPLOA in Lunda Norte.

Unfortunately, we were given security clearance only for (the capital of Lunda Sul) in the first instance and further clearances were to be given by the UN Field Security Officer in Saurimo (see attached). Against this background, our flights were booked for Saurimo.

To our greatest surprise Dr Cani did not turn-up for the exercise. In fact it was at the airport (on departure to Saurimo) that we learnt of his absence from the team. It is important to note that Dr. Cani worked with us in our previous REMO exercises in Cabinda, and also led the RAPLOA team in Cabinda. No reason was given for his absence for the second phase of the mission.

Before we left for Saurimo, WHO Luanda informed the WHO Coordinators for Lunda Sul and Lunda Norte of our arrival date and time; and directed them to provide us with WHO field vehicles as we were given security clearance to travel in vehicles with radio facilities. By this arrangement, also, the WHO/Coordinator in (the capital of Lunda Norte) was directed to send the WHO vehicle to Saurimo to pick the consultants for the study in Lunda Norte. Dundo to Saurimo is about 300 km. Mr Marcello, the team leader for Lunda Norte opted to travel in advance to enable him facilitate the mission.

On arrival in the evening of Thursday December 4 in Saurimo, we did not see anybody from Lunda Norte nor their WHO vehicle. There was no message left behind for us as to their plan. Efforts to reach them that day failed. On Friday December 5, we were able to speak with the Coordinator. We expressed surprise why the WHO vehicle was not in Saurimo to pick the consultants as directed by WHO Luanda; and requested that the vehicle be sent. He told us that he needed an authorization from the Provincial Directorof Public Health to enable him send the vehicle to Saurimo. He further said that the Director would want to see the consultants before the authority to use the vehicle. But we told him that it was the WHO vehicle (with radio facilities) that is expected (by security clearance) to pick the consultants to see him. At this point he told us that he was going to discuss with the Director and he was going to reach us later. He further told us that our facilitator, Mr Marcello was not in Dundo that Friday. Efforts to inform WHO Luanda of our experience were not fruitful. Our facilitators were in the WHO/AFRO meeting in Luanda. We were scheduled to train and supervise the teams, Thursday December 4 - Monday December 9. We never heard from the WHO Coodinator nor Marcello. We were time bound and we therefore directed our efforts to conduct the RAPLOA in Lunda Sul. Our hosts here, in Lunda Sul, facilitated our field work and gave us tremendous support.

4.0 RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

4.1 RAPLOA training ln all, 23 persons were trained on RAPLOA at both National and Provincial level. At the National level there were 9 participants (all members of the National Disease Control Programmes. At the provincial level , 7 workers each from Cabinda and Lunda Sul were trained. It was a successful training.

4.2The on-the- spot analysis of REMO data On-the-spot analysis of REMO data with the help of Mr Zotre was very valuable. It identified the actual zones that required REMO refinement. In fact, it helped to fine tune the definite CDTI and non-CDTI areas as well as un-inhabited zones which hitherto were grouped as areas that required REMO refinement.

4.3 REMO refinement REMO refinement was planned for Huila, Cunene, Cuando Cubango, Moxico, Bengo, and Lunda Norte and the results are shown in table I

Tablel: Summary of the results of REMO refinement in Angola, November 9 - December 16, 2003.

PROVINCE Number of Number of villages Number of villages villages refined inaccessible or selected for non-existence refinement TIUILA 24 t6 t2 CI.iI[ENE 10 6 4 CUANDO CUBANGO 24 t9 5 MOXICO 89 29 60 BENGO 5 * LT]NDA NORTE 34 18 t6 * W" h"d no security ctearance to work in the five setected REMO vitlages in Bengo Province

Huila A total of 24 villages were selected for REMO refinement in this Province and 8 of them were either inaccessible ( due to the presence of land mines or broken bridges) or the villages were non- exsitent- as the population has migrated to other areas due to the civil war. Of the 15 villages examined, onchocerciasis was absent in 10 villages and the other 5 villages positive for onchocerciasis are hypoendemic.

Cunene Ten villages were selected for this exercise, 4 of them were inaccessible/non-existent at the time of the study. Onchocercisis was absent in all the 6 villages examined.

Cuando Cubango. Of the 24 villages selected for REMO refinement in this Province, 19 of them were examined. Onchocerciasis was absent in 10 of the examined villages, six villages were hypoendemic while the remaining three were mesoendemic.

Moxico Moxico is a large Province; and before the present mission, only a limited REMO exercise was carried out by the national team. As a result of this, 89 villages were selected for the REMO refinement. The Temporary Advisors had no security claerance to supervise any field work in the Province Two national teams were therefore sent for ten days to implement the REMO refinement in Moxico. Unfortunately they were able to carry out the exercise in only 29 villages(32.6oh). Most of the roads according to the teams were not yet open because of land mines and/ or broken bridges. The results from the present work showed that of the 29 villages examined, the disease was absent in one village, 25 villages were hypoendemic while three of the them were mesoendemic for onchocerciasis.

Bengo For obvious epidemiological reasons, 5 villages were selected to be personally refined/validated the Temporary Advisors in Bengo Province. We thought that results from these villages would have helped to create a better understanding of the CDTl-mapped area in some parts of Bengo and Kuanza Norte Provinces. All the logistic arrangements were put in place by WHO Luanda for this study for December 12,2003. At the last count, on December 11,2003, we were told that we had no security clearance to work in those villages. The 5 selected villages were therefore not examined.

Lunda Norte A total of 34 villages were initially selected for REMO refinement in Lunda Norte. In course of the study, we were given REMO results of 18 villages conducted by the national team early in the year. Of these villages, onchocerciasis was absent in 4, ll villages were hypondemic while 3 of them were mesoendemic for onchocerciasis. REMO refinement was not conducted in the 16 outstanding villages in Lunda Norte because of the logistic limitations earlier presented in section 3.4 of this report.

4.4 RAPLOA RESULTS 4.4.1,. The Province of Cabinda RAPLOA study was planned for Cabinda, Lunda Norte and Lunda Sul, but we were unable to carry out the study in Lunda Norte.The results for the Cabinda and Lunda Sul Provinces are shown in Tables 2 and 3.ln all,25 villages were selected for the RAPLOA study. Two of the villages were inacessible (, Quissoki) and two did not exist (Chimbuade, Viede). Out of the 20 villages that were studied, only the village of Fubo in the Cabinda Municipio was at low risk of SAE following mass treatment with ivermectin (Table 3.1). Four villages of the Municipio of Cabinda and had a prevalence of history of eye worrn (RD) above 40oh and below 60%o and are at high risk of SAE following CDTI (Table 3.2.).

Fifteen villages, covering all Municipios of Cabinda, Cacongo, Buco Zau and Miconje had prevalence of history of eye worrn (RD) above 60Yo and are at very high risk of SAE following CDTI (Table 3.3). From the results above, it is clear that the Province of Cabinda is largely hyperendemic for loiasis and the distribution is not focalised.

4.4.2. The Province of Lunda Sul In the province of Lunda Sul, 65 villages were selected for the RAPLOA study, out of which, 28 were studied. 37 were inacessible at the time of the study because of broken bridges. In all villages studied, <20oh of respondents reported a history of eye worrn (range 0%-16.8%). In eight of the villages, the prevalence of history of eye worrn was nil. The area is at "no risk of SAE" and standard CDTI can be safely applied there (Table 4).
