DOLF is thrilled to announce the initiation of a new #clinicaltrial for the treatment of #onchocerciasis comparing the safety and efficacy of three new combination treatments in Bong County, Liberia. Read more about the initiation here! dolfproject.wustl.edu/the-dolf-proje…
#Studysite Spotlight: Our upcoming #clinicaltrial will take place at Bong Mine Hospital, Liberia. A portion of this hospital was renovated with the goal of creating an ophthalmology clinic with a #lastingimpact that can serve this region long after our study has concluded!
Happy 2024! From the field to the lab and back again, here's a snapshot of our 2023, a year that saw many new advances and developments in our research on #LymphaticFilariasis and #Onchocerciasis. Read our 2023 year in review here: dolfproject.wustl.edu/dolf-teams-202…

IDA impact survey for Brugia malayi elimination in Belitung: @DOLF_Project researcher Prof. Supali and her team of the Universitas Indonesia collected 485 samples in one night.
Promising results from a DOLF study in Ghana suggest that a new triple drug treatment is safe and potentially more effective than the standard treatment for killing or permanently sterilizing the parasites. #BeatNTDs journals.plos.org/plosntds/artic…

#Positivetrends Catherine Bjerum recently highlighted exciting new 12 month data from @DOLF_Project in Cote d’Ivoire that found that moxidectin plus albendazole was dramatically superior to ivermectin plus albendazole for achieving sustained clearance of microfilaremia. @ASTMH
A new publication out of @DOLF_Project surveys in Nigeria found villages in Enugu and Ogun states with persistent onchocerciasis after many rounds of ivermectin CDTi. More MDA will be required to #eliminateoncho the infection in these areas. doi.org/10.1186/s12879… @obi_eneanya
Congrats to @DOLF_Project's Investigator Tania Supali who presented @ASTMH on the potential rise of Brugian filariasis on Belitung Island in Indonesia and the team’s plans to monitor infections, improve MDAs, and investigate possible animal reservoirs. bit.ly/39PVPVt
