The treatment for onchocerciasis is ivermectin (brand name Mectizan?). Unlike previous treatments, which had serious ? sometimes fatal ? side effects, ivermectin is safe and can be used on a wide scale. It is also a very effective treatment, and has single-handedly transformed the lives of millions of people suffering... from onchocerciasis since its introduction in 1987. ? Mode of action Ivermectin kills the larval Onchocerca volvulus worms ? microfilariae ? that live in the subcutaneous tissue of an infected person. It is believed to paralyse or kill the microfilariae gradually, so avoiding the intense inflammatory responses induced when they die naturally. Treatment with ivermectin relieves intense skin itching and halts the progression towards blindness. Ivermectin does not kill the adult worms but suppresses the production of microfilariae by adult female worms for a few months following treatment, so reduces transmission. As the adult worms can continue to produce microfilariae until they die naturally, ivermectin has to be taken once a year for 16?18 years to break transmission. In APOC countries, it is estimated that 65% of the total population living in an endemic area need to take ivermectin annually to eliminate onchocerciasis as a public health problem.
