It was further reviewed at the Informal Consultation on Preventive Chemotherapy in Human Helminthiasis, which took place at WHO headquarters in Geneva, Switzerland, on 16-17 March 2006. Subsequently, WHO staff, in close collaboration with Professor D.W.T. Crompton, who chaired the Informal Consultation, undertook further revision of the manual on the basis of comments and suggestions made by participants.
