Genomics of Ocular <i>Chlamydia trachomatis</i> after 5 years of SAFE interventions for trachoma in Amhara, Ethiopia

2020-06-08

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> To eliminate trachoma as a public health problem, the WHO recommends the SAFE strategy. As part of the SAFE strategy in the Amhara Region, Ethiopia, the Trachoma Control Program distributed over 124 million doses of antibiotic between 2007 and 2015. Despite these interventions, trachoma remained hyperendemic in many districts and a considerable level of Chlamydia trachomatis ( Ct ) infection...
