Distinguishing recrudescence from reinfection in lymphatic filariasis: a genomics-based approach for monitoring worm burden

2023-11-08

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> The Global Program to Eliminate Lymphatic Filariasis is the largest public health program based on mass drug administration (MDA). Despite decades of MDA, ongoing transmission in some countries remains a challenge. To optimize interventions, it is essential to differentiate between recrudescence (poor drug response and persistent infection) and new infections (ongoing transmission). Since adult...
