摘要: Background Mass treatment with ivermectin controls onchocerciasis as a public health problem, but it was not known if could also interrupt transmission and eliminate the parasite in endemic foci Africa where vectors are highly efficient. A longitudinal study undertaken three hyperendemic Mali Senegal 15 to 17 years of annual or six-monthly order assess residual levels infection transmission, test whether be safely stopped. This article reports results final evaluations up 5 after last treatment.
