Ivermectin Treatment Response in Onchocerca Volvulus Infected Persons with Epilepsy: A Three-Country Short Cohort Study

Despite a long history of community-directed treatment with ivermectin (CDTI), a high ongoing Onchocerca volvulus transmission is observed in certain onchocerciasis-endemic regions in Africa with a high prevalence of epilepsy. We investigated factors associated with higher microfilarial (mf) density...
