Genomic Epidemiology in Filarial Nematodes: Transforming the Basis for Elimination Program Decisions

Genomic Epidemiology in Filarial Nematodes: Transforming the Basis for Elimination Program Decisions

Onchocerciasis and lymphatic filariasis are targeted for elimination, primarily using mass drug administration at the country and community levels. Elimination of transmission is the onchocerciasis target and global elimination as a public health problem is the end point for lymphatic filariasis. Wh...
