ABSTRACT
A study of community-based treatment of onchocerciasis with invermectin was undertaken in a rain forest area of Liberia to investigate the possible occurrence of serious adverse effects. The total population was 13,704, the microfilarial load was 5.35 mf/mg skin, and the prevalence of Onchocerca volvulus infection was 50 percent at 9 years of age and over 80 percent among those aged 15 years and older. Certain groups (like pregnant women and young children) were excluded from treatment
