Pacific Program for the Elimination of Lymphatic Filariasis (PacELF)

From the WHO: "PacELF, the first regional filariasis elimination programme, is a network of the twenty-two Pacific island countries and territories aimed at eliminating filariasis in the Pacific. The strategy for achieving this goal is annual mass drug administration (MDA) using diethylcarbamazine citrate (DEC) with albendazole to stop transmission together with clinical management of infections to minimize pathodema in those individuals that are already infected."
