Using data from the Cameroon blackfly control and monitoring work, along with other field data, a model has been developed by Maria-Gloria Basañez and colleagues at the Faculty of Medicine, Imperial College London. The work was published by Routledge et al. with several YIF co-authors, in the journal Parasites and Vectors in May 2018 – see https://doi.org/10.1186/s13071-018-2864-y The conclusion was that onchocerciasis elimination may not be achieved with annual ivermectin distribution in all endemic foci. Complementary and alternative treatment strategies (ATS), including vector control, will be necessary.
