Hypo-endemic onchocerciasis hotspots: defining areas of high risk through micro-mapping and environmental delineation

BACKGROUND: Onchocerciasis (river blindness) caused by the parasite Onchocercavolvulus and transmitted by riverine Simulium spp. (Black flies) is targeted for elimination in Africa. This is a significant change in strategy from the ‘control’ of meso- and hyper-endemic areas through mass drug adminis...
