AB - This Commission focuses on the vector-borne helminthiases onchocerciasis, lymphatic filariasis, loiasis, and mansonellosis, which are widely endemic across large and diverse landscapes in sub-Saharan Africa, affecting populations in some of the lowest-income countries. Onchocerciasis and lymphatic filariasis have long been recognised and prioritised as neglected tropical diseases (NTDs), with well established global elimination programmes, and are targeted for elimination as part of the WHO NTD road map for 2021–30. In contrast, loiasis and mansonellosis have largely been neglected, are not listed as NTDs, and have no large-scale control programmes.We present current advances in the control and elimination of transmission of these infections, and in the clinical care of people affected by them. We highlight key issues that might influence progress, and make recommendations for future priority research areas, with the aim of addressing existing knowledge gaps, providing guidance to national programmes and stakeholders, and pointing to areas in need of funding and action for the next 5–10 years.Priority research areas are presented under eight main themes, four of which are disease-specific themes broadly based on programmatic structures: mapping and delineating risk (theme 1); intervention coverage and impact (theme 2); surveillance tools and strategies (theme 3); and clinical care and impact (theme 4). The remaining four themes encompass the cross-cutting role of modelling (theme 5); the emerging topics of One Health (theme 6); complex challenges and emergencies (theme 7); and sustainability for the future (theme 8). These priority research areas are broadly linked to the WHO NTD road map targets and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to help assess how research action and outcomes might contribute to their progress.This Commission also highlights how progress on SDGs by different organisations might indirectly contribute towards the control and elimin
