Onchocerciasis (river blindness)-more than a century of research and control

Norbert W. Brattig et al.

Summary: This review summarizes over a century of research on onchocerciasis, also known as river blindness, and its control. It discusses the history, milestones, current state, and future perspectives of the disease, highlighting successful control and elimination efforts in certain countries. It contributes to a deeper comprehension of this tissue-dwelling filaria disease and may aid in efforts to control and eliminate other filarial infections.

Onchocerca volvulus and epilepsy: A comprehensive review using the Bradford Hill criteria for causation

Robert Colebunders et al.

Summary: Epidemiological evidence suggests that infection with Onchocerca volvulus may trigger epilepsy, including nodding and Nakalanga syndromes. The strength of the evidence supporting a causal relationship is significant, especially in areas with a high burden of epilepsy. However, further research is needed to elucidate the mechanisms by which the parasite induces seizures and to determine how onchocerciasis control measures could potentially prevent onchocerciasis-associated epilepsy.

High Prevalence of Epilepsy in an Onchocerciasis-Endemic Area in Mvolo County, South Sudan: A Door-To-Door Survey

Stephen Raimon et al.

Summary: A study conducted in Mvolo County, South Sudan, revealed a high prevalence and incidence of epilepsy, with factors such as younger age, male gender, skin itching, blindness, and living near the Naam River identified as risk factors for epilepsy. Additionally, the transmission of parasites remains high in the region, with a low percentage of individuals receiving treatment.

Association Between Ov16 Seropositivity and Neurocognitive Performance Among Children in Rural Cameroon: a Pilot Study

Joseph Nelson Siewe Fodjo et al.

Summary: This study found that infection with O. volvulus may affect the neurocognitive performance of children, leading to reduced semantic verbal fluency and lower scores on the International HIV Dementia Scale. Additionally, an increasing frequency of past ivermectin use was associated with improved neurocognitive scores.
