No evidence of Wuchereria bancrofti infection in Anopheles species after 10 years without mass drug administration: a molecular xenomonitoring study in Hauts-Bassins, Burkina Faso
These findings provide further evidence that there is no Lymphatic Filariasis transmission occurring in Hauts-Bassin's post-TAS area. Molecular xenomonitoring of the filarial parasite which is a sensitive tool, could also serve as a complementary tool for monitoring transmission in post-MDA area and help national neglected tropical disease control program with surveillance in these areas.
