Required duration of mass ivermectin treatment for onchocerciasis elimination in Africa: a comparative modelling analysis
BACKGROUND: The World Health Organization (WHO) has set ambitious targets for the elimination of onchocerciasis by 2020–2025 through mass ivermectin treatment. Two different mathematical models have assessed the feasibility of reaching this goal for different settings and treatment scenarios, namely...
