Gary Weil leads a group that conducts population-based epidemiology studies and clinical trials in Africa and Asia, the Death to Onchocerciasis and Lymphatic Filariasis (DOLF) Project. The group develops and evaluates diagnostic tests for helminth parasite infections (lymphatic filariasis, river blindness and intestinal worm infections) that are major public health problems in the developing world.
