Is mass drug administration against lymphatic filariasis required in urban settings? The experience in Kano, Nigeria

BACKGROUND: The Global Programme to Eliminate Lymphatic Filariasis (GPELF), launched in 2000, has the target of eliminating the disease as a public health problem by the year 2020. The strategy adopted is mass drug administration (MDA) to all eligible individuals in endemic communities and the imple...
