Competing Interests
I have read the journal's policy and have the following conflicts: GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) provided the donation of albendazole, and Merck & Co. and the Mectizan Donation Program provided ivermectin. Financial support for some of this work was provided by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, The Lions Clubs International Foundation SightFirst, GSK, and the WHO/World Bank African Programme for Onchocerciasis Control. This does not alter our adherence to all PLOS NTDs policies on sharing data and materials.
