The authors emphasize the necessity for enhanced national and cross-border genomic surveillance to manage control efforts effectively.

The authors suggest the assay may still have a role in tuberculosis screening and prevention strategies for household contacts, a priority population where existing tests perform poorly.

Persistent and resurgent hotspots highlight that elimination efforts require sustained comprehensive intervention packages and broader investments in poverty reduction and water, sanitation, and hygiene infrastructure to achieve equity in global health.

It frames integrated approaches as a way to identify people at higher risk and connect them with preventive or treatment services.

The authors recommend re-intensifying MDA plus additional interventions in hotspots and adapting strategies from mass administration to targeted surveillance-response in low-prevalence areas.

They highlighted point-of-care testing alongside malaria testing as a way to support dengue detection and diagnosis.
