What is required in terms of mass drug administration to interrupt the transmission of schistosome parasites in regions of endemic infection?
BACKGROUND: Schistosomiasis is endemic in 54 countries, but has one of the lowest coverages by mass drug administration of all helminth diseases. However, with increasing drug availability through donation, the World Health Organisation has set a goal of increasing coverage to 75 % of at-risk childr...
