How does onchocerciasis-related skin and eye disease in Africa depend on cumulative exposure to infection and mass treatment?

<h4>Background</h4>Onchocerciasis (river-blindness) in Africa is targeted for elimination through mass drug administration (MDA) with ivermectin. Onchocerciasis may cause various types of skin and eye disease. Predicting the impact of MDA on onchocercal morbidity is useful for future pol...
