A Stochastic, Individual-Based Mathematical Model of Onchocerciasis Transmission in North-Eastern Nigeria

2026-07-16

Abstract excerpt

In Nigeria, onchocerciasis (river blindness), which is caused by the filarial worm Onchocerca volvulus and spread by Simulium blackflies, is still a significant public health concern, especially in riverine populations in the northeastern states of Adamawa, Bauchi, Borno, Gombe, Taraba, and Yobe. Due to non-compliance, drug ineligibility, migration of infected individuals and gaps in vector control, transmission c...
