Abstract

The purpose of this brief introduction to the supplement that follows is to highlight the current unique opportunity to coordinate intestinal helminth control programmes with the relatively new global initiative to eliminate lymphatic filariasis. Such synergy at global, regional, national and local levels has the potential to greatly enhance the impact, decrease the cost and facilitate sustainability in both of these health programmes.
