Background Studies on Mass drug administration(MDA)in Ghana targeting various diseases,have mostly focused on factors that affect coverage and compliance to MDA with limited focus on evidence regarding awareness and c...
BackgroundIn onchocerciasis-endemic areas with high ongoing Onchocerca volvulus transmission,a high prevalence of epilepsy has been reported.This study aimed to determine the prevalence and clinical characteristics of...
Background:The current mainstay for control/elimination of onchocerciasis and soil-transmitted helminthiasis(STH)relies on ivermectin-and mebendazole/albendazole-based preventive chemotherapies.However,children under ...
This article describes the mathematical model derivation describing river blindness disease transmission in human and vector(blackflies)host population.The effect of incomplete resistance to re-infection in human in...
R Colebunders received a grant from the European Research Council(ERC 671055).
In its new roadmap for neglected tropical diseases,the World Health Organization proposes three important strategic shifts:(i)Stronger accountability which shifting from process to impact indicators;(ii)Intensified cr...
A mathematical model describing the epidemic interactions between humans and blackflies in the transmission of onchocerciasis is considered.In this model,the onchocerciasis infected human individuals are divided into ...
Background:Around 2007,a nodding syndrome(NS)epidemic appeared in onchocerciasis-endemic districts of northern Uganda,where ivermeain mass distribution had never been implemented.This study evaluated the effect of com...
