  • Title: The onchocerciasis chronicle: from the beginning to the end?
    Author: Crump A, Morel CM, Omura S.
    Journal: Trends Parasitol; 2012 Jul; 28(7):280-8. PubMed ID: 22633470.
    Abstract:
    The year 2012 marks the 25th anniversary of the donation of ivermectin to fight onchocerciasis and the projected date for elimination of transmission of the disease in the Americas. This review looks at the history of onchocerciasis, from its discovery through to 2025, by which time it is projected that the disease will have been eliminated as a public health problem, except in a handful of sub-Saharan countries, where it should be well on the way towards elimination.
