Journal ArticleDOI
Serious reactions after mass treatment of onchocerciasis with ivermectin in an area endemic for Loa loa infection.
Jacques Gardon,N. Gardon-Wendel,Demanga-Ngangue,Joseph Kamgno,Jean-Philippe Chippaux,Michel Boussinesq +5 more
TL;DR: Empirical surveys aimed at assessing the intensity of infection with L loa microfilariae should be done before ivermectin is distributed for onchocerciasis control in areas where loiasis is endemic.
Journal ArticleDOI
Clinical picture, epidemiology and outcome of Loa -associated serious adverse events related to mass ivermectin treatment of onchocerciasis in Cameroon
TL;DR: The mechanisms of the post-ivermectin Loa-related encephalopathies should be investigated to improve the management of patients developing the condition.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of standard and high doses of ivermectin on adult worms of Onchocerca volvulus: a randomised controlled trial.
Jacques Gardon,Michel Boussinesq,Joseph Kamgno,Nathælie Gardon-Wendel,Demanga-Ngangue,Brian O.L. Duke +5 more
TL;DR: Treatment with 3-monthly ivermectin could greatly reduce the number of female worms and acute itching and skin lesions; lower transmission of O volvulus; and change the duration of control programmes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Three probable cases of loa loa encephalopathy following ivermectin treatment for onchocerciasis
Michel Boussinesq,Jacques Gardon,N. Gardon-Wendel,Joseph Kamgno,Pierre Ngoumou,Jean-Philippe Chippaux +5 more
TL;DR: Three PLERI cases recorded in Cameroon are described and a comparison with two others reported previously is compared, showing that late diagnosis and delay in proper management in two others probably led to worsening of the condition and to fatal outcome related to the usual complications of coma.
Journal ArticleDOI
Spatial modelling and the prediction of Loa loa risk: decision making under uncertainty.
Peter J. Diggle,Madeleine C. Thomson,Ole F. Christensen,Barry Rowlingson,Valérie Obsomer,Jacques Gardon,Samuel Wanji,Innocent Takougang,Peter Enyong,J. Kamgno,Jan H. F. Remme,Michel Boussinesq,David H. Molyneux +12 more
TL;DR: Spatial statistical modelling and Bayesian inference have now been used to quantify the uncertainty in the predictions of a regional, environmental risk map for Loa loa (a map that is currently being used as an essential decision tool by the African Programme for Onchocerciasis Control).
