A Second Population-Based Cohort Study in Cameroon Confirms the Temporal Relationship Between Onchocerciasis and Epilepsy

To confirm our earlier evidence of a temporal and dose–response relationship between onchocerciasis and epilepsy, we conducted another cohort study in a different setting in Cameroon. Individuals whose Onchocerca volvulus microfilarial density (Ov-MFD) was measured in 1992–1994 when they were childr...
