Entomological Assessment of Onchocerca Species Transmission by Black Flies in Selected Communities in the West Region of Cameroon

Pathogens, 2020
The enormity of the public health burden of onchocerciasis motivated the creation of various large-scale control programs that have depended principally on mass treatment of endemic communities with ivermectin for the elimination of the disease ...

Evidence of suppression of onchocerciasis transmission in the Venezuelan Amazonian focus. [PDF]

, 2016
BACKGROUND: The World Health Organization (WHO) has set goals for onchocerciasis elimination in Latin America by 2015. Most of the six previously endemic countries are attaining this goal by implementing twice a year (and in some foci, quarterly) mass ...

Modelling the elimination of river blindness using long-term epidemiological and programmatic data from Mali and Senegal [PDF]

, 2017
The onchocerciasis transmission models EPIONCHO and ONCHOSIM have been independently developed and used to explore the feasibility of eliminating onchocerciasis from Africa with mass (annual or biannual) distribution of ivermectin within the timeframes ...

Onchocerca - infected cattle produce strong antibody responses to excretory-secretory proteins released from adult male Onchocerca ochengi worms

BMC Infectious Diseases, 2018
Background The front line molecules from filarial worms and other nematodes or helminthes are their Excretory-Secretory (ES) products. Their interaction with the host cells, proteins and immune system accounts for the skin and eye pathology or ...

A target repurposing approach identifies N-myristoyltransferase as a new candidate drug target in filarial nematodes [PDF]

, 2014
Myristoylation is a lipid modification involving the addition of a 14-carbon unsaturated fatty acid, myristic acid, to the N-terminal glycine of a subset of proteins, a modification that promotes their binding to cell membranes for varied biological ...

Duplex Real-Time PCR Assay for Clinical Differentiation of Onchocerca lupi and Onchocerca volvulus [PDF]

The American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 2020
In the United States and Europe, human onchocerciasis is a rare disease caused by zoonotic or anthropophilic parasites in the genus Onchocerca. The zoonotic species identified in focal areas of Europe and United States is Onchocerca lupi, and Onchocerca volvulus, the anthroponotic species, may be found among people who had lived in endemic areas of ...
