A Test-and-Not-Treat Strategy for Onchocerciasis Elimination in Loa loa–coendemic Areas: Cost Analysis of a Pilot in the Soa Health District, Cameroon
BACKGROUND: Severe adverse events after treatment with ivermectin in individuals with high levels of Loa loa microfilariae in the blood preclude onchocerciasis elimination through community-directed treatment with ivermectin (CDTI) in Central Africa. We measured the cost of a community-based pilot u...
