Summary
We will examine whether a combination of Ivermectim (IVM) plus Albendazole (ALB) compared to
IVM alone given annually, which is the current standard for mass drug administration (MDA),
is more effective in sterilizing adult worms. We will also address whether IVM plus ALB given
twice per year is superior to IVM given once per year or twice per year.
