Knowledge and perceptions of lymphatic filariasis patients in selected hotspot endemic communities in southern Ghana

Lymphatic filariasis (LF) is a mosquito-borne neglected tropical disease that is one of the leading global causes of permanent disability. To date, LF interventions have been largely biomedical, focusing on drug treatments to disrupt parasite transmission and manage disease morbidity. Although impor...
