"It is most endemic in Africa and Asia," Joan Fahy, Executive Group Coordinator at the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine, told MediaGlobal. But staggering success has been made since the Global Programme to Eliminate LF, sponsored by the World Health Organization (WHO), began its campaign in 2000.

Treatment involves the usage of a combination of two drugs. "GlaxoSmithKline and Merck and Co. have been providing free drugs," Fahy said.
