Assessing the interruption of the transmission of human helminths with mass drug administration alone: optimizing the design of cluster randomized trials

BACKGROUND: A method is outlined for the use of an individual-based stochastic model of parasite transmission dynamics to assess different designs for a cluster randomized trial in which mass drug administration (MDA) is employed in attempts to eliminate the transmission of soil-transmitted helminth...
