The spatial distribution and epidemiology of trachoma : application and evaluation of geographical information in defining disease burden and planning control

2014-01-01

Abstract excerpt

The last decade has seen significant progress towards the elimination of blinding trachoma as a health problem. However, gaps in our understanding of the epidemiology of trachoma at large scales are increasingly important in the context of programmatic scale up. This thesis therefore aimed to define the current distribution and burden of trachoma, in addition to investigating the spatial heterogeneity of trachoma...
