INTERRUPTION OF O. VOLVULUS TRANSMISSION, SUDAN Interruption of Onchocerca volvulus Transmission in the Abu Hamed Focus, Sudan
Abu Hamed, Sudan, the northernmost location of onchocerciasis in the world, began communitydirected treatment with ivermectin (CDTI) in 1998, with annual treatments enhanced to semiannual in 2007. We assessed the status of the parasite transmission in 2011 entomologically, parasitologically, and serologically. O-150 pool screening showed no parasite DNA in 17,537 black flies collected in 2011 (...

متن کاملInterruption of Transmission of Onchocerca volvulus in the Southern Chiapas Focus, México
BACKGROUND The Southern Chiapas focus of onchocerciasis in Southern Mexico represents one of the major onchocerciasis foci in Latin America. All 559 endemic communities of this focus have undergone semi-annual mass treatment with ivermectin since 1998. In 50 communities of this focus, ivermectin frequency shifted from twice to four times a year in 2003; an additional 113 communities were added ...
متن کاملSuccessful Interruption of Transmission of Onchocerca volvulus in the Escuintla-Guatemala Focus, Guatemala
BACKGROUND Elimination of onchocerciasis (river blindness) through mass administration of ivermectin in the six countries in Latin America where it is endemic is considered feasible due to the relatively small size and geographic isolation of endemic foci. We evaluated whether transmission of onchocerciasis has been interrupted in the endemic focus of Escuintla-Guatemala in Guatemala, based on ...
