Declarations
:
: Ethical approval was obtained from Lancaster University (FHMREC21005) and the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine (LSHTM) ethics committee (No. 28698). Written (thumbprint or signature) informed consent was obtained from the guardians of all children. The data being analyzed are from the Global Trachoma Mapping Project (LSHTM ethics references 6319 and 8355) and its successor, Tropical Data (LSHTM ethics reference 16105). Consent to participate in the trachoma surveys allowed survey teams to examine both eyes of the consenting individual on one occasion only. Consent (or its refusal) was formally noted by a trained, registered data recorder.
: AB and SB are employed by the ITI at the Task Force for Global Health, which receives an operating budget and research funds from Pfizer, the manufacturer of Zithromax (azithromycin). EMHE receives salary support from the ITI. The remaining authors declare no competing interests.
