Onchocerciasis (also known as `river blindness'), is a neglected tropical disease (NTD) caused by the (Simulium-transmitted) filarial nematode Onchocerca volvulus. The occurrence of `blinding' (savannah) and non-blinding (forest) parasite strains and... Read More about Taking the strain out of onchocerciasis?

The relevance of mustelids in SARS-CoV-2 transmission has become increasingly evident. Alongside experimental demonstration of airborne transmission among ferrets, the major animal model for human respiratory diseases, transmission of SARS-CoV-2 with...
