Abstract

Although considerable success has been achieved to eliminate lymphatic filariasis since 1999, there are significant knowledge gaps about LF transmission dynamics, particularly at the end stages of elimination programs when prevalence has reached very low levels. Current mathematical and computational models of lymphatic filariasis do not capture small-scale spatial heterogeneity of risk factors, restricting our understanding of LF dynamics at low prevalence.
