New article - Eradication of lymphatic filariasis

 * Eradication of lymphatic filariasis

This article is incomplete. There is a global story to tell. I have not yet found a single publication which attempts to present the entire eradication narrative. Consequently, Wikipedia might be the place to compile the various reports over the years and in various places.  Blue Rasberry  (talk)  02:42, 2 March 2020 (UTC)

Changing Lead Image
I suggest changing the lead image of the article to a clothed picture, as the current nude picture does not demonstrate anything besides the enlarged legs, which can be achieved by any other picture of the legs of a filariasis patient.

The following image is already on Wikipedia and is used in the same article later on, so I suggest using it instead of the current one.

If anyone can change the picture, please do it; I haven't edited Wikipedia articles in several years, so I might need some time to re-learn it.

Disability Adjusted Life Year Map
The Disability Adjusted Life Year Map in the Epidemiology section shows South Korea with >500 per 100,000. Later in the section, the article mentions that lymphatic filariasis has been eradicated in South Korea. To me, this suggests an error Marcconnell95 (talk) 19:18, 23 August 2021 (UTC)
