Model-Based Geostatistical Mapping of the Prevalence of Onchocerca volvulus in Cameroon between 1971 and 2020
Our results are broadly consistent with recent MBG studies and can be used to intensify onchocerciasis control and elimination efforts in areas with persisting transmission, providing spatio-temporal prevalence trends to which transmission models can be fitted to improve projections of onchocerciasis elimination by 2030 and beyond.
