Monitoramento efetivo, avaliação epidemiológica e análise subsequente são
necessários para atingir o objetivo de interromper a transmissão da FL. Este manual foi
elaborado para oferecer aos programas nacionais de eliminação da fi lariose informação de qualidade sobre metodologias e proc...edimentos para monitoramento dos TC, avaliação adequada sobre se e quando ocorreu redução da infecção a níveis em que a transmissão provavelmente não é mais sustentável, implementação de vigilância adequada após a interrupção dos TCs para estabelecer se está ocorrendo recrudescência e medidas para comprovação da ausência de transmissão. O Manual oferece orientação geral aos programas nacionais e informações relevantes sobre questões técnicas são apresentadas nos anexos. Como as circunstâncias da vida real podem não corresponder a categorias pré-defi nidas, recomenda-se que se consultem a OMS e especialistas em situações complexas.
