Projectomschrijving
Large-scale deworming programs against soil-transmitted helminths (STH) are moving from morbidity control towards interruption of STH transmission. However, there are currently few diagnostic tools that may reliably inform the program when to stop the administration of drugs. We will evaluate qPCR and anti-body ELISAs as diagnostic tools to assess the interruption of STH transmission.
