Topical diethylcarbamazine in ocular onchocerciasis

Transactions of the Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 1973
Abstract 1. 1. The effects of 3% diethylcarbamazine eye drops (Onchozan) on O. volvulus microfilariae in the cornea and in the anterior chamber are described in 9 Cameroonian subjects. 2. 2. The therapy tended to reduce the numbers of microfilariae seen in the anterior chamber, but they were not completely eliminated.

Equine ocular onchocerciasis: Histopathologic study

American Journal of Veterinary Research, 1982
SUMMARY Equine eyes (368) were examined clinically and histologically for abnormalities associated with the presence of ocular microfilariae of naturally occurring Onchocerca sp infection. Forty of the eyes had microfilariae in the conjunctiva, but distinguishing clinical abnormalities were not associated with their presence.

Ocular Onchocerciasis in the Horse

Equine Veterinary Journal, 1971
Summary The microfilariae Onchocerca cervicalis are capable of producing a variety of lesions in the equine eye. Ocular lesions are initiated by dead, rather than living microfilariae. The clinical features of diseases of the conjunctiva, cornea,

Onchocerciasis: Experimental Models of Ocular Disease

Clinical Infectious Diseases, 1985
Onchocerciasis is a leading cause of blindness in equatorial Africa and in endemic regions in Central America. Understanding of the pathologic processes involved in onchocercal eye disease and of the role of immunopathologic mechanisms in its development has been substantially limited by the shortage of eyes for histologic study and by the lack of a ...

Ocular Immunopathologic Findings of Experimental Onchocerciasis

Archives of Ophthalmology, 1984
Ocular immunopathologic responses of inbred guinea pigs infected with Onchocerca microfilariae from domesticated animals were studied as a laboratory model of human ocular onchocerciasis. A single intracorneal infection of normal guinea pigs with microfilariae produced only minimal ocular lesions.

Ocular Onchocerciasis

Archives of Ophthalmology, 1968
Ocular onchocerciasis was studied within the framework of a comprehensive multidisciplinary epidemiological investigation in an area of the Republic of Chad, Africa, where onchocerciasis was known to be highly endemic. The total population of a village was screened ophthalmologically, and 20% of that population was selected for a detailed ...
