Epilepsia, Volume 66, Issue 3, Page 739-752, March 2025.Abstract Objective In onchocerciasis‐endemic areas, limited access to antiseizure medications (ASMs) contributes to a high epilepsy burden. This study evaluated the impact of a community‐based epilepsy care program in Mahenge, Tanzania, an onchocerciasis‐endemic area with high epilepsy prevalence.

Ivermectin as a promising therapeutic option for onchocerciasis‐associated epilepsy
Epilepsia Open, Volume 10, Issue 1, Page 361-367, February 2025.Abstract Onchocerciasis, commonly known as river blindness, is a neglected tropical disease caused by the parasite Onchocerca volvulus. It can lead to blindness and visual impairment. Studies have also demonstrated a link between onchocerciasis and epilepsy, with there being a correlation between onchocerciasis endemicity and epilepsy prevalence ...
