Phenotypic Evidence of Emerging Ivermectin Resistance in Onchocerca volvulus
BACKGROUND: Ivermectin (IVM) has been used in Ghana for over two decades for onchocerciasis control. In recent years there have been reports of persistent microfilaridermias despite multiple treatments. This has necessitated a reexamination of its microfilaricidal and suppressive effects on reproduc...
