Density-dependent mortality of the human host in onchocerciasis: relationships between microfilarial load and excess mortality. by Martin Walker, Mark P Little, Karen S Wagner, Edoh W Soumbey-Alley, Boakye A Boatin, María-Gloria Basáñez

“…The attributable mortality risk due to onchocerciasis was estimated to be 5.9%.Incorporation of this non-linear functional relationship between microfilarial load and excess mortality into mathematical models for the transmission and control of onchocerciasis will have important implications for our understanding of the population biology of O. volvulus, its impact on human populations, the global burden of disease due to onchocerciasis, and the projected benefits of control programmes in both human and economic terms.…”
