Background: Control of onchocerciasis as a public health problem in Africa relies on annual
mass ivermectin distribution. New tools are needed to achieve elimination of infection. This
study determined in a small number of Onchocerca volvulus infected individuals whether
moxidectin, a veterinary anthelminthic, is safe enough to administer it in a future large study
to further characterize moxidectin's safety and efficacy. Effects on the parasite were also
assessed. Methodology/Principal Findings: Men and women from a forest area in South …
