Modelling control of Schistosoma haematobium infection: predictions of the long-term impact of mass drug administration in Africa

Abstract Background Effective control of schistosomiasis remains a challenging problem for endemic areas of the world. Given knowledge of the biology of transmission and past experience with mass drug administration (MDA) programs, it is important to critically evaluate the likelihood that MDA progr...
