Featured collection: Elimination of Lymphatic Filariasis in the Pacific - A PacELF success

PacELF, the Pacific Programme for the Elimination of Lymphatic Filariasis, was designed as a regional programme driven by the 22 island countries and territories in the Pacific for the sole purpose of eliminating lymphatic filariasis (LF). 

This collection provides an overview and bibliography of LF in the Pacific, and reports on the progress towards elimination in selected countries. We hope that these success stories will be an inspiration to the other regions of the world that are also engaged in this effort.
