  title = {Vector-borne helminthiases: a road map for current and future research to support control and elimination in sub-Saharan Africa},
  abstract = {<p>This Commission focuses on the vector-borne helminthiases onchocerciasis, lymphatic filariasis, loiasis, and mansonellosis, which are widely endemic across large and diverse landscapes in sub-Saharan Africa, affecting populations in some of the lowest-income countries. Onchocerciasis and lymphatic filariasis have long been recognised and prioritised as neglected tropical diseases (NTDs), with well established global elimination programmes, and are targeted for elimination as part of the WHO NTD road map for 2021–30. In contrast, loiasis and mansonellosis have largely been neglected, are not listed as NTDs, and have no large-scale control programmes.</p>
