Lymphatic filariasis in the Democratic Republic of Congo; micro-stratification overlap mapping (MOM) as a prerequisite for control and surveillance

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>The Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) has a significant burden of lymphatic filariasis (LF) caused by the parasite <it>Wuchereria bancrofti</it>. A major impediment to the expansion of the LF elimination programme is the...
