Prediction and validation of the structural features of Ov58GPCR, an immunogenic determinant of Onchocerca volvulus.
Onchocerciasis is a severely debilitating yet neglected tropical disease (NTD) that creates social stigma, generates and perpetuates poverty, and leads ultimately in some cases to irreversible unilateral or bilateral blindness if untreated. Consequently, the disease is a major impediment to socioeco...
