Description
Summary:Discussions and debates throughout the conference were aimed to provide a focus for stakeholders and decision makers to frame further control measures and policies and to define needed research and tools. [...]innovations that would be key during the “last mile” towards reaching the elimination targets needed emphasis. [...]research is needed. The data on the poorly understood dispersal of the vector needs to be collected for better IRS. Because the sand fly modified its mostly endophilic (living indoors) habitat from past to exophilic (life outdoors) now [32], special tools targeting the vector with the exophilic habitat may be needed along with IRS. First-in-human trial of ChAd63-KH.
