Determining treatment needs at different spatial scales using geostatistical model-based risk estimates of schistosomiasis.
BACKGROUND: After many years of neglect, schistosomiasis control is going to scale. The strategy of choice is preventive chemotherapy, that is the repeated large-scale administration of praziquantel (a safe and highly efficacious drug) to at-risk populations.
