Abstract excerpt

Lymphatic filariasis (LF) is a debilitating neglected tropical disease that remains a major public challenge in endemic countries. In addition to providing mass drugs administration (ivermectin, albendazole and diethylcarbamazine) to reduce parasite burden in endemic communities, there is also a need to mitigate the challenges associated with lymphedema progression.
