Abu Hamad First to Stop River Blindness Transmission in Sudan." Targeted News Service, May 17, 2012, Research Library; US Newsstream, https://search.proquest.com/docview/1016511827?accountid=415.
The Sudan Federal Ministry of Health, with assistance from The Carter Center and Lions Clubs International Foundation, announced that the isolated desert area of Abu Hamad has stopped transmission of river blindness (onchocerciasis). Abu Hamad is among the first areas in Africa to demonstrate that intensified mass treatment of the drug Mectizan(TM), donated by Merck, can interrupt transmission of this debilitating disease.

Guinea worm disease and river blindness are among 17 tropical diseases the World Health Organization considers neglected. Thanks to the efforts of the Atlanta-based Carter Center (http://www.cartercenter.org/index.html) -- founded by former president Jimmy Carter and his wife Rosalynn -- focused treatment and prevention are leading to the elimination of one, and the extinction of another.

An Iowa State University graduate student has unearthed some promising results in her quest to identify plant extracts to combat a devastating parasitic disease in Cameroon and other African countries.
"Merck & Co., Inc.; Merck Issues Statement on WHO Study Showing First Evidence that Elimination of River Blindness is Feasible in Africa." Malaria Weekly, Aug 03, 2009, pp. 7, Family Health Database, https://search.proquest.com/docview/195791760?accountid=415.
Merck & Co., Inc. issued the following statement in response to study results published by the World Health Organization offering the first evidence that elimination of the tropical disease river blindness (onchocerciasis) in Africa is feasible with treatment with ivermectin (registered trademark Mectizan(R)). As the discoverer and manufacturer of Mectizan, Merck decided in 1987 to donate the drug to all who need it for as long as necessary until river blindness is eliminated as a public health problem.
"Merck and Partners make Progress in Long-Term Commitment to End River Blindness." Targeted News Service, Nov 11, 2011, Research Library; US Newsstream, https://search.proquest.com/docview/903448495?accountid=415.
Public health officials at the 21st Inter-American Conference on Onchocerciasis in Bogota, Colombia announced that Colombia has eliminated onchocerciasis (river blindness) within its borders, making it the first country suffering from river blindness in the Americas to reach this goal.
"NIAID-Supported Scientists Sequence, Explore the Genome of the River Blindness Parasite." Targeted News Service, Nov 21, 2016, Research Library; US Newsstream, https://search.proquest.com/docview/1841985038?accountid=415.
Scientists have sequenced the genome of the parasitic worm responsible for causing onchocerciasis--an eye and skin infection more commonly known as river blindness. Through their work, researchers have gained insight into the workings of the parasite and identified proteins that potentially could be targeted with existing drugs or provide areas for developing new treatments.
Quinn, Christopher. "Eye on the Cure: Dr. Frank Richards Envisions a World without River Blindness. and He might just have the Tenacity to Get it done. Christopher Quinn Reports from Ethiopia." The Atlanta Journal - Constitution, Jan 19, 2014, US Newsstream, https://search.proquest.com/docview/1485764599?accountid=415.
In October, Richards travelled to this distant village, Shimelegara, to learn if World Health Organization maps showing the limits of river blindness's range were accurate and if government health stations such as this one could be counted on to regularly distribute medicine to contain it. The disease is spread by tiny black flies the size of the lead of a sharpened pencil that breed in fast-flowing rivers.
"RIVER BLINDNESS BATTLE." The Optician, vol. 243, no. 6335, Jan 20, 2012, pp. 7, ABI/INFORM Trade & Industry, https://search.proquest.com/docview/922467429?accountid=415.
RIVER BLINDNESS BATTLE: Sightsavers has unveiled a 10-year campaign to help eliminate onchocerciasis, or river blindness, one of the worid's leading causes of preventable blindness. It is now starting work in the Democratic Republic of the Congo where the disease is endemic and plans to raise and invest more than £27m over the next decade to help combat the neglected tropical disease (NTD) across Africa.
"Scripps Research Scientists Develop Novel Test that Identifies River Blindness Parasite in its Active State." Targeted News Service, Oct 06, 2010, Research Library; US Newsstream, https://search.proquest.com/docview/849358919?accountid=415.
Scientists from The Scripps Research Institute have developed the first screening method that rapidly identifies individuals with active river blindness, a parasitic disease that afflicts an estimated 37 million people.
"Uganda's Success Against River Blindness: An Inspiration for Africa and an International Challenge." Targeted News Service, Feb 23, 2012, Research Library; US Newsstream, https://search.proquest.com/docview/923179694?accountid=415.
The Carter Center congratulates Uganda for its historic achievement of interrupting transmission of river blindness disease (onchocerciasis) in several parts of the country, freeing hundreds of thousands from risk of this scourge. Uganda's success is helping to change widely held views that river blindness is such a pervasive public health problem in Africa that it can only be controlled, not eliminated.
Winthrop, Kevin, et al. "River Blindness: An Old Disease on the Brink of Elimination and Control." Journal of Global Infectious Diseases, vol. 3, no. 2, 2011, pp. 151-155, Research Library, https://search.proquest.com/docview/871454188?accountid=415,
doi:http://dx.doi.org/10.4103/0974-777X.81692.
For decades, onchocerciasis (or river blindness) was one of the most common infectious causes of blindness in the world. Primarily an infection of Africa, with limited distribution in the new world, disease due to the nematode Onchocerca volvulus is rapidly diminishing as a result of large public health campaigns targeting at risk populations in Africa and the Americas. Existing and newly-developed treatment strategies offer the chance to eliminate onchocercal ocular morbidity in some parts of the world. This article reviews these treatment strategies, current clinical and epidemiologic aspects of onchocerciasis, and the next steps toward elimination.
"Worms' Bacteria Main Cause of River Blindness." USA Today, vol. 131, no. 2693, 02, 2003, pp. 15-16, Research Library, https://search.proquest.com/docview/214616915?accountid=415.
River blindness, a devastating tropical disease that affects 18,000,000 people in Africa, the Arabian peninsula, and Latin America, is caused by parasitic worms that burrow into the skin and release millions of tiny offspring that spread throughout the body. Moreover, the worms themselves probably are not the main culprits behind the disease, according to an international team of scientists. Instead, it is the worms' symbiotic cargo of Wolbachia bacteria that provokes the body's severe inflammatory response, leading to blindness and serious skin disorders.
The Sudan Federal Ministry of Health, with assistance from The Carter Center and Lions Clubs International Foundation, announced that the isolated desert area of Abu Hamad has stopped transmission of river blindness (onchocerciasis). Abu Hamad is among the first areas in Africa to demonstrate that intensified mass treatment of the drug Mectizan(TM), donated by Merck, can interrupt transmission of this debilitating disease.

Merck & Co., Inc. issued the following statement in response to study results published by the World Health Organization offering the first evidence that elimination of the tropical disease river blindness (onchocerciasis) in Africa is feasible with treatment with ivermectin (registered trademark Mectizan(R)). As the discoverer and manufacturer of Mectizan, Merck decided in 1987 to donate the drug to all who need it for as long as necessary until river blindness is eliminated as a public health problem.

Scientists have sequenced the genome of the parasitic worm responsible for causing onchocerciasis--an eye and skin infection more commonly known as river blindness. Through their work, researchers have gained insight into the workings of the parasite and identified proteins that potentially could be targeted with existing drugs or provide areas for developing new treatments.

In October, Richards travelled to this distant village, Shimelegara, to learn if World Health Organization maps showing the limits of river blindness's range were accurate and if government health stations such as this one could be counted on to regularly distribute medicine to contain it. The disease is spread by tiny black flies the size of the lead of a sharpened pencil that breed in fast-flowing rivers.

The Carter Center congratulates Uganda for its historic achievement of interrupting transmission of river blindness disease (onchocerciasis) in several parts of the country, freeing hundreds of thousands from risk of this scourge. Uganda's success is helping to change widely held views that river blindness is such a pervasive public health problem in Africa that it can only be controlled, not eliminated.

For decades, onchocerciasis (or river blindness) was one of the most common infectious causes of blindness in the world. Primarily an infection of Africa, with limited distribution in the new world, disease due to the nematode Onchocerca volvulus is rapidly diminishing as a result of large public health campaigns targeting at risk populations in Africa and the Americas. Existing and newly-developed treatment strategies offer the chance to eliminate onchocercal ocular morbidity in some parts of the world. This article reviews these treatment strategies, current clinical and epidemiologic aspects of onchocerciasis, and the next steps toward elimination.

River blindness, a devastating tropical disease that affects 18,000,000 people in Africa, the Arabian peninsula, and Latin America, is caused by parasitic worms that burrow into the skin and release millions of tiny offspring that spread throughout the body. Moreover, the worms themselves probably are not the main culprits behind the disease, according to an international team of scientists. Instead, it is the worms' symbiotic cargo of Wolbachia bacteria that provokes the body's severe inflammatory response, leading to blindness and serious skin disorders.
