In this special collection, modelling insights are used to highlight drivers of local elimination, evaluate strategies for detecting resurgence, and show the importance of rational spatial sampling schemes for several neglected tropical diseases (specifically schistosomiasis, soil-transmitted helminths, lymphatic filariasis, trachoma, onchocerciasis, visceral leishmaniasis, and gambiense sleeping sickness).}, year = {2020}, journal = {The Journal of Infectious Diseases}, volume = {221}, pages = {S499–S502}, url = {https://academic.oup.com/jid/article/221/Supplement_5/S499/5856174}, doi = {10.1093/infdis/jiaa198}, language = {eng}, }
