    Lecture: NTDs, elimination and eradication

    For the last 2 classes, the plan is for students to take over these sessions to address elimination and eradication programs, especially those targeting NTDs not already discussed (lymphatic filariasis, onchocerciasis, dracunculiasis, human African trypanosomiasis).  We will ask for sign-ups for specific topics on Jan 30.
