Elimination or resurgence: modelling lymphatic filariasis after reaching the 1% microfilaremia prevalence threshold

HIGHLIGHTS

  • who: Joaquin M Prada and collaborators from the SchoolUniversity of Health Information and Discovery, Headington, Oxford, UK have published the research: Elimination or Resurgence: Modelling Lymphatic Filariasis After Reaching the 1% Microfilaremia Prevalence Threshold, in the Journal: (JOURNAL)
  • what: Using 3 well-established mathematical models the authors show that low-level can be maintained for long period after halting mass treatment and that true elimination (0% is usually slow to achieve. The authors provide additional simulation results for regions without onchocerciasis that use a treatment of diethylcarbamazine and albendazole , as well as with Culex mosquitoes . . .
