The impact of mass drug administration expansion to low onchocerciasis prevalence settings in case of connected villages
BACKGROUND: The existence of locations with low but stable onchocerciasis prevalence is not well understood. An often suggested yet poorly investigated explanation is that the infection spills over from neighbouring locations with higher infection densities. METHODOLOGY: We adapted the stochastic in...
