The 13 pages that link to Onchocerciasis, each with the reason it gives.

• BlindnessBroader topic: The parasite can inflame and damage the eye, causing river blindness.

• Mass drug administrationBroader topic: Community-wide ivermectin treatment is a central control strategy.

• SchistosomiasisCompared with: Both diseases can occur in tropical regions, but onchocerciasis is insect-borne.

• IvermectinRelated: Ivermectin is used in mass treatment to reduce skin and eye disease by killing larval worms.

• Neglected tropical diseasesBroader topic: Mass treatment campaigns have reduced transmission while illustrating the scale of coordinated control.

• Lymphatic filariasisCompared with: It is another mosquito-independent filarial disease, but it primarily affects skin and eyes.

• AnthelminticRelated: Repeated ivermectin treatment reduces microfilariae and limits eye and skin disease.

• Satoshi ŌmuraRelated: Ivermectin made large-scale treatment of this disease possible.

• William C. CampbellRelated: Ivermectin became a central treatment for reducing the parasite burden that causes this disease.

• AntiparasiticRelated: Ivermectin reduces the parasite's microfilariae and limits disease transmission.

• DracunculiasisCompared with: It can cause skin disease, but infection spreads through insect bites rather than drinking contaminated water.

• Nodding diseaseRelated: Many affected communities have high infection prevalence, though causation is unproven.

• TabanidaeCompared with: It illustrates a major biting-fly disease cycle unlike the usual role of Tabanidae.
