Completing the End Game: Achieving LF Elimination in the Pacific Island Countries (Old ID 22119)

Principal Investigator

This project will organize the lymphatic filariasis (LF) data available from Pacific Island countries to facilitate preparation of the national dossiers in collaboration with World Health Organization (WHO) for validation of their LF elimination. It will identify and showcase program best-practices and lessons learned to achieve successful LF elimination. The Pacific Program to Eliminate LF (PacELF) countries will then be used as a model for these efforts through a collaboration between James Cook University, WHO, and Nagasaki University to compile, analyze, assess and publish the data and experience of 16 years of national program activities to eliminate LF in the Pacific Island Countries (PIC).
