Opportunities for integration and synergy with other programmes |
| • Vector control via bednets with malaria control |
| • Vector control of dengue vectors |
| • Intestinal helminths/Schistosomiasis programmes via schools |
| • Addition of DEC to iodinated/fluoridated salt (with the possibility of fortification with other micronutrients) |
| • Onchocerciasis control linkage in Africa where onchocerciasis/LF are co-endemic |
| • Linkage to guinea-worm programme for surveillance and drug distribution |
| • Use of National Immunisation Days for annual treatment |
| • Evaluation and rapid appraisal systems can link to other diseases e.g. anaemia and malaria, vector status, Loa loa, schistosomiasis, onchocerciasis |
| • Linkages to Vitamin A and Zithromax (Trachoma) distribution programmes |
