Spatial and temporal distribution of onchocerciasis in West Africa, with particular reference to Ghana

2018-01-01

Abstract excerpt

Background. Quantifying and predicting the effect of control interventions against infectious diseases requires knowledge about prevalence prior to the implementation of such control measures as well as knowledge of key parameters which affect model outcomes. Here is presented the first geostatistical map estimating the prevalence of human onchocerciasis in the former Onchocerciasis Control Programme in West Afric...
