In 2012, an echinococcosis control scheme was started that included dosing owned dogs in the Alay Valley, Kyrgyzstan with praziquantel. Control programmes require large investments of money and resources; as such it is important to evaluate how well these are meeting their targets. However, problems associated with echinococcosis control schemes include remoteness and semi-nomadic customs of affected communities, and lack of resources. These same problems apply to control scheme evaluations, and quick and easy assessment tools are highly desirable. Lot quality assurance sampling was used to assess the impact of approximately 2 years of echinococcosis control in the Alay valley. A pre-intervention coproELISA prevalence was established, and a 75% threshold for dosing compliance was set based on previous studies. Ten communities were visited in 2013 and 2014, with 18\u201321 dogs sampled per community, and questionnaires administered to dog owners. After 21 months of control efforts, 8\/10 communities showed evidence of reaching the 75% praziquantel dosing target, although only 3\/10 showed evidence of a reduction in coproELISA prevalence. This is understandable, since years of sustained control are required to effectively control echinococcosis, and efforts in the Alay valley should be and are being continued.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1017\/s0031182017000397","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,6,9]],"date-time":"2017-06-09T03:56:33Z","timestamp":1496980593000},"page":"1328-1337","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1017\/policypage","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["Evaluation of the impact of 2 years of a dosing intervention on canine echinococcosis in the Alay Valley, Kyrgyzstan"],"prefix":"10.1017","volume":"144","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3034-9022","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"F.","family":"VAN KESTEREN","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"A.","family":"MASTIN","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"P.
