Abstract excerpt

Nodding syndrome (NS) is a catastrophic and enigmatic childhood epilepsy, accompanied by multiple neurological impairments and neuroinflammation. Of all the infectious, environmental and psychological factors associated with NS, the major culprit is Onchocerca Volvulus (Ov)-a parasitic worm transmitted to human by blackflies. NS seems to be an 'Autoimmune Epilepsy' in light of the recent findings of deleterious...
