Onchocerciasis-associated epilepsy in Maridi, South Sudan: Modelling and exploring the impact of control measures against river blindness

BACKGROUND: Onchocerciasis, also known as “river blindness”, is caused by the bite of infected female blackflies (genus Simuliidae) that transmit the parasite Onchocerca volvulus.
