Summaries for Onchocerciasis

About this section
NIH Rare Diseases : 54 Onchocerciasis is a rare tropical parasitic disease transmitted by a black fly. Infection by the parasite can cause eye and skin problems. In humans, the parasitic worms live under the skin (subcutaneous nodules) and produce larvae (microfilariae). The larvae are found throughout the body, but especially in the skin and eyes. Repeated bites by infected flies increase the number of adult worms and larvae. Chronic skin onchocerciasis (onchodermatitis) causes itching, a rash with small pimples (papular rash), scarring, and thickened, leathery skin (lichenification). Other symptoms may develop over time and might include saggy skin (such as ''hanging groin''), patchy areas of much lighter colored skin (leopard skin), ichthyosis-like lesions (''lizard skin''), darkening of the skin, and very severe itching. The eye infection is known as river blindness because the blackfly carrying the parasite lives near fast-flowing waters. Symptoms of an eye infection may include itchy eyes, red eyes, and sensitivity to light (photophobia). In some cases, the larvae may infect the optic nerve. As the common name suggests, infection of the eye by onchocerciasis can lead to vision loss and eventually blindness. The disease is caused by the parasitic worm Onchocerca volvulus and is transmitted by the bite of an infected black fly. About 90% of the cases occur in Africa. Treatment aims to remove the larvae (microfilariae), to improve symptoms, to prevent progression of eye lesions, and to stop the parasite from being passed back to black flies so other people do not become infected. Medications include an anti-parasitic known as ivermectin, antibiotics such as rifampin, azithromycin, and doxycycline, and, another recently approved anti-parasitic drug, Moxidectin.

MalaCards based summary : Onchocerciasis, also known as river blindness, is related to filariasis and filarial elephantiasis. An important gene associated with Onchocerciasis is RBP3 (Retinol Binding Protein 3), and among its related pathways/superpathways are Innate Immune System and PEDF Induced Signaling. The drugs Ivermectin and Anticonvulsants have been mentioned in the context of this disorder. Affiliated tissues include skin, eye and testes.

Disease Ontology : 12 A filariasis that involves parasitic infection caused by the nematode Onchocerca volvulus, which is transmitted to humans through the bite of a blackfly of the genus Simulium. The worms spread throughout the body and, when they die, cause intense itching and a strong immune system response that can destroy nearby tissue. The symptoms include pruritus, dermatitis, blindness, onchocercomata (subcutaneous nodules), and lymphadenopathy.
