Human Anti-Onchocerca volvulus IgG ELISA Kit is an ELISA kit against Human Anti-Onchocerca volvulus IgG.

Introduction Onchocerca volvulus is a nematode parasite that causes the tropical disease onchocerciasis, otherwise known as river blindness. The disease is transmitted by the Simuliidae family of black flies, which carry the parasite larvae. Humans are the only other known host for the parasites. When an infected black fly takes a blood meal, the parasites enter the subcutaneous skin layers and reproduce, causing limited local skin inflammation. The parasites also carry Wolbachia bacteria, which are released when the parasite is killed, causing more severe inflammation. Blindness occurs as a result of the parasites migrating to the cornea and causing inflammation there. A vaccine against the disease is under production, and the disease is primarily treated using ivermectin, however doxycycline and moxidectin are also sometimes used.
