River Blindness
Bill and Melinda Gates are fighting a disease called River Blindness and are on track to eradicate it by 2030. River Blindness is caused by blackfly bites that bring parasites into your body as it makes their way to your eyes.
https://trusted-medications.com/onchocerciasis/
The parasite that causes onchocerciasis, or river blindness, is spread by repeated bites of infected Simulium blackflies. This neglected tropical disease (NTD) is present in Africa and the Americas. Shown here are blackflies attempting to bite through the shirt of a CDC microbiologist on a trip to Guatemala. #WorldSightDay #BeatNTDs #MakeVisionCount #onchocerciasis #riverblindness : @cdcglobal
The complete #mural reinterprates the #olympic #flag. Instead of showing interconnected rings, seperate people are shown. Each displays a different #neglected #tropical #disease. These affect the low income population of the #developing #world, inclusing #brazil. Green shows a person in a #hazmatsuit taking a #picture.

What does it take to wipe out a disease? Find out in the new exhibition Countdown to Zero: Defeating Disease, which opens on Tuesday, January 13. Today, we're highlighting River Blindness.
Disease: River Blindness
Disease agent: Onchocerca volvulus worms
The threat: Occurs mainly in tropical areas; more than 99 percent of infected people live in sub-Saharan Africa.
How infection spreads: Through the bites of black flies. Worms reproduce under the skin, producing thousands of offspring that inflame the skin and cause blindness.
Defeating the disease: Drug treatment is critical; killing fly larvae in their breeding places also helps interrupt transmission.
Eradication potential: Successful elimination efforts in Latin America offer models for tackling the disease in sub-Saharan Africa.
