Categories: Elimination verified, No data No PC required, Thought not requiring PC.\n\n#### Method of measurement\nA tool to rapidly assess the onchocerciasis situation was developed by the UNICEF/UNDP/World Bank/WHO Special Programme for Research and Training in Tropical Diseases (TDR). Rapid epidemiological mapping of onchocerciasis (REMO) uses geographical information \u2013 particularly the presence of river basins \u2013 to identify communities likely to be at high risk of infection.
