Abstract

The DDTD biplex A RDT prototype was easy to use in the field but the evaluation of its performance relative to the commercially available Ov16 SD Bioline RDT will require additional research. The high Ov16 seroprevalence suggests high ongoing O. volvulus transmission around the Maridi Dam. Therefore, strengthening the onchocerciasis elimination program in Maridi should be a public health priority.
