After a decade of annual dose mass ivermectin treatment in Cameroon and Uganda, onchocerciasis transmission continues

Abstract

A decade or more of annual single dose ivermectin treatment in hyperendemic areas has reduced onchocerciasis to 'hypoendemicity', but onchocerciasis transmission persists. For now, annual treatment with ivermectin should be continued in formerly mesoendemic and hyperendemic zones.
