Although the prevalence of geohelminthiasis and its associatedfactors have been studied over the years, this parasitosis is classified by the WorldHealth Organization (WHO) as Neglected Tropical Disease. Systematic review studieson the subject collect information on infection rates and associated factors in severalcountries. The objective of this overview of systematic reviews is to discuss howenvironmental factors, host-related risk factors, and control strategies influence theprevalence of soil-transmitted helminths in different regions of the world. The followingdatabases were used: LILACS, PubMed, Web of Knowlegde, Embase and TheCochrane Library and Clinical Trials (gray literature). In each of these databases thefollowing descriptors were used: helminths, geohelminths, soil-transmitted helminths, epidemiology, prevalence, Ascaris lumbricoides, Trichuris trichiura, Necatoramericanus, Ancylostoma duodenale, systematic review. Systematic reviews wereincluded, with or without meta-analysis, published until December 2017 and theinclusion criteria were: (i) to present a clear research question and eligibility criteriaused for the selection of the studies; (ii) describe all the sources of information in thesearch and the keywords used; (iii) present the number of studies found in the sources ofinformation and included in the final sample of the systematic review. The evaluation ofthe quality of the studies was done using the AMSTAR tool (Assessing theMethodological Quality of Systematic Reviews). The initial results of the bibliographicsearch identified 1,448 articles of which 125 were excluded by simultaneous indexing intwo or more databases. After review reviews, 17 met the inclusion criteria and wereused in this overview. Factors such as climate, MDA (Mass Drug Administration), WASH (Water, Sanitation and Hygiene) access, shoe use and nutritional status wereconsidered to be the main culprits for the prevalence rate of geohelminthiases. AlthoughWHO strategies to reduce the prevalence of geohelminthias have a positive short-termeffect, it is necessary to understand other aspects, such as socioeconomic and culturalfactors, to achieve satisfactory rates of prevalence.

In Sergipe, the disease is endemic and affects more than 65% of the state's municipalities. The Schistosomiasis Control Program (SCP) uses the Kato-Katz (KK) method for population screening, as recommended by the World Health Organization, but there is growing evidence for the sensitivity limitations associated with KK, especially in areas with low parasite loads. Helmintex (HTX) is a sensitive egg detection method based on the magnetic properties of S. mansoni eggs and their isolation in a magnetic field. The aim of this study is to evaluate both KK and HTX in an endemic area for schistosomiasis in Sergipe, Areia Branca, located in the municipality of Pacatuba. Individuals from six years older who signed the term of consent and/or free and informed assent and who provided fecal samples in sufficient quantity to carry out the tests participated in the project. At the end, the results were delivered to the population and all positive individuals were treated. A total of 234 individual fecal samples were delivered and two KK thick smears were prepared and evaluated for each sample. A total of 30g of each fecal sample was processed by the HTX method. Eggs were detected in 80 (34.18%) of the participants. Twenty-three (9.83%) samples were positive by the KK method and 77 (32.91%) by the HTX method. A total of 95.7% (22/23) of the positive samples in the KK method had mild infections and only one individual (4.3%) had a moderate infection (108 OPG, eggs per gram of feces). The age of the sampled population ranged from six to 97 years, with a mean of 35.5 ± 18.1 years. There was no statistical relationship between infection and age (KK vs. AGE -0.442; HTX vs. AGE - 0.543). More than half of the participants were female (56.98%). The gender variable showed that men were more likely to become infected, according to KK (PR: 2.91) and HTX (PR: 1.79) data. The sensitivity of KK was 28.8% while that of HTX was 96.2%. The ROC curve showed that the probability of detecting schistosomiasis is higher with Helmintex (0.98) than with Kato-Katz (0.64). A HTX detects 3.3x more PPV and 25% more NPV. Public policies are necessary to change the panorama of neglected diseases, especially in the control of schistosomiasis in endemic areas.

However, Brazil faces challenges in consolidating phytotherapy in the SUS and in the effective structuring and operation of "living pharmacies," despite having public policies for such practices, such as the National Policy on Integrative and Complementary Practices and the National Policy on Medicinal Plants and Herbal Medicines. Establishing phytotherapy services in a municipality requires commitment from administrators and healthcare professionals, along with strategies for maintenance, strengthening, and political coordination. Public policy evaluation involves generating preliminary information about the subject under study, which, when conducted systematically and organized, enhances the accuracy of decision-making. Therefore, tracking the implementation processes of these policies and evaluating their impact is essential. Various aspects need to be considered in health policies, including access to health services, restrictions and barriers, program planning aligned with population needs, resources allocated to address the issue, equity, quality of care, and the positive impact on health conditions. Additionally, external factors influencing the planning and implementation of these policies must be addressed. The 3I+E framework provided a conceptual plan used to analyze the factors shaping policy formulation, proving a useful tool for assessing the key elements influencing whether a decision progresses toward implementation. By examining relevant institutions, interests, ideas, and external factors through the 3I+E framework in this study, it was found that policies related to phytotherapy and medicinal plants in the SUS reveal a promising scenario with significant advances in the implementation and acceptance of these practices. However, critical challenges remain, particularly concerning regulation, continuous training, and expanding scientific evidence. Sustained monitoring and evaluation efforts are crucial to ensuring these policies are effective and safe, contributing to improved health and well-being for the population.
