Abstract
- The rate at which chlamydial infection returns to a population after mass treatment is determined and the treatment frequency required for elimination of ocular chlamydia form a community is estimated. The result indicates that elimination of infection in a hyperendynamic area is feasible with biannual mass antibiotic administrations and attainable coverage levels.
