Abstract
Lymphatic filariasis (LF) patients make shell decorations in a rehabilitation group in Tamil Nadu, India. Since 2000, global efforts have been underway to eliminate the spread of LF, a parasitic infection that is a leading cause of permanent and long-term disability worldwide. As a result of these global efforts, an estimated US$21.8 billion will be gained among individuals benefiting from the first eight years of the Global Programme to Eliminate Lymphatic Filariasis (GPELF), and an additional US$2.2 billion will be saved by the health systems of endemic countries (see Chu et al., 10.1371/journal.pntd.0000708).
