Utility of the <i>Onchocerca volvulus</i> mitochondrial genome for delineation of parasite transmission zones

2019-08-12

Abstract excerpt

In 2012, the reduction in Onchocerca volvulus infection prevalence through long-term mass ivermectin distribution in African meso- and hyperendemic areas motivated expanding control of onchocerciasis (river blindness) as a public health problem to elimination of parasite transmission. Given the large contiguous hypo-, meso- and hyperendemic areas with an estimated population of 204 million, sustainable eliminatio...
