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

open access: yes, 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 ...

Neglected Tropical Diseases and Female Infertility: Possible Pathophysiological Mechanisms

open access: yesJournal of Tropical Medicine, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Battling female infertility has posed a global challenge, where neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) are nonetheless a notable contributing factor. NTDs affect a variety of diseases, often of a chronic nature, which are often cited as some of the most lethal diseases operating against the most economically disadvantaged populations across the globe.

An empirical method to estimate the effect of soil on the rate for transmission of damping‐off disease

open access: yes, 2004
The ability of some soils to suppress soil-borne diseases has been long recognised, but the underlying epidemiological mechanisms by which this occurs are largely unknown.• Using damping-off disease caused by Rhizoctonia solani, spreading through ...

In‐host modeling of dengue virus and non‐structural protein 1 and the effects of ivermectin in patients with acute dengue fever

open access: yesCPT: Pharmacometrics &Systems Pharmacology, Volume 13, Issue 12, Page 2196-2209, December 2024.
Abstract The increased incidence of dengue poses a substantially global public health challenge. There are no approved antiviral drugs to treat dengue infections. Ivermectin, an old anti‐parasitic drug, had no effect on dengue viremia, but reduced the dengue non‐structural protein 1 (NS1) in a clinical trial.

Boron-Pleuromutilins as Anti-Wolbachia Agents with Potential for Treatment of Onchocerciasis and Lymphatic Filariasis

open access: yesJournal of Medicinal Chemistry, 2019
A series of pleuromutilins modified by introduction of a boron-containing heterocycle on C(14) of the polycyclic core are described. These analogs were found to be potent anti-Wolbachia antibiotics and, as such, may be useful in the treatment of filarial

Crystal structure of N‐terminally hexahistidine‐tagged Onchocerca volvulus macrophage migration inhibitory factor‐1

open access: yesActa Crystallographica Section F, Volume 80, Issue 12, Page 328-334, December 2024.
N‐terminally hexahistidine‐tagged O. volvulus macrophage migration inhibitory factor‐1 has a unique jellyfish‐like structure with the prototypical macrophage migration inhibitory factor trimer as the `head' and a C‐terminal extension as the `tail'.Onchocerca volvulus causes blindness, onchocerciasis, skin infections and devastating neurological ...
