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 ...

Burden of onchocerciasis-associated epilepsy: first estimates and research priorities

Infectious Diseases of Poverty, 2018
Background Since the 1990s, evidence has accumulated of an increased prevalence of epilepsy in onchocerciasis-endemic areas in Africa as compared to onchocerciasis-free areas.

Is onchocerciasis elimination in Africa feasible by 2025: a perspective based on lessons learnt from the African control programmes

Infectious Diseases of Poverty, 2018
Background Onchocerciasis is found predominantly in Africa where large scale vector control started in 1974. Registration and donation of ivermectin by Merck & Co in 1987 enabled mass treatment with ivermectin in all endemic countries in Africa and the ...

The Interruption of Transmission of Human Onchocerciasis by an Annual Mass Drug Administration Program in Plateau and Nasarawa States, Nigeria

American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 2020
. Plateau and Nasarawa states in central Nigeria were endemic for onchocerciasis. The rural populations of these two states received annual ivermectin mass drug administration (MDA) for a period of 8–26 years (1992–2017).

What does the COVID-19 pandemic mean for the next decade of onchocerciasis control and elimination?

medRxiv, 2020
Background: Mass drug administration (MDA) of ivermectin for onchocerciasis has been disrupted by the SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) pandemic. Mathematical modelling can help predict how missed/delayed MDA will affect short-term epidemiological trends and ...

The Galabat-Metema cross-border onchocerciasis focus: The first coordinated interruption of onchocerciasis transmission in Africa

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2020
Background Onchocerciasis transmission across international borders is not uncommon, yet a coordinated cross border stops mass drug administration (MDA) decision has not been documented.

Evidence for Suppression of Onchocerciasis Transmission in Bioko Island, Equatorial Guinea. [PDF]

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2016
Onchocerciasis or "river blindness" is a chronic parasitic neglected tropical disease which is endemic both in mainland and insular Equatorial Guinea. We aim to estimate the current epidemiological situation of onchocerciasis in Bioko Island after vector

Meta-analysis of epilepsy prevalence in West Africa and its relationship with onchocerciasis endemicity and control

International Health, 2020
Background A high prevalence and incidence of epilepsy has been reported in onchocerciasis-endemic regions in Central and East Africa. There is compelling epidemiological evidence suggesting that this high burden is caused by onchocerciasis-associated ...

Escalation of Germinal Center Responses in Chronic Litomosoides sigmodontis Filarial Infection

European Journal of Immunology, Volume 55, Issue 5, May 2025.
T follicular helper (TFH) cells provide essential help to B cells in germinal centers (GCs). TFH and GC B cell responses are long‐lasting in draining mediastinal lymph nodes of Litomosoides sigmodontis‐infected BALB/c mice, a rodent model of filarial infection. ABSTRACT T follicular helper (TFH) cells are the primary CD4+ T helper cell subset providing
