Genetic Selection of Low Fertile Onchocerca volvulus by Ivermectin Treatment
BACKGROUND: Onchocerca volvulus is the causative agent of onchocerciasis, or “river blindness”. Ivermectin has been used for mass treatment of onchocerciasis for up to 18 years, and recently there have been reports of poor parasitological responses to the drug. Should ivermectin resistance be develo...
