Modelling the Impact of Vector Control on Lymphatic Filariasis Programs: Current Approaches and Limitations

E. L. Davis et al.

Summary: Vector control is considered an important tool for lymphatic filariasis elimination, with evidence showing it can have a significant impact on program outcomes and halt transmission. However, implementation is costly. Modelling studies often simplify vector dynamics and focus on human prevalence trends, making them less suitable for analyzing vector control measures directly.
