Implementing a community vector collection strategy using xenomonitoring for the endgame of lymphatic filariasis elimination
BACKGROUND: The global strategy for elimination of lymphatic filariasis is by annual mass drug administration (MDA). Effective implementation of this strategy in endemic areas reduces Wuchereria bancrofti in the blood of infected individuals to very low levels. This minimises the rate at which vecto...
