چکیده
|
A critique of the recommendation that skin snips be used for post-mda surveillance of formerly endemic onchocerciasis areas is provided. after considering several fundamental aspects of the use of this methodology within the context of prolonged mass distribution of ivermectin,we argue that skin-snipping has no value for monitoring onchocerciasis elimination programs.
