  abstract = {{A}chievements obtained by the onchocerciasis control programmes should not lead to a relaxation in the biological research on {O}nchocerca volvulus. {I}ssues such as the {L}oa too-related post-ivermectin serious adverse events, the uncertainties as to whether onchocerciasis can be eliminated by ivermectin treatments, and the possible emergence of ivermectin-resistant {O}. volvulus populations should be addressed proactively. {D}oxycycline, moxidectin and emodepside appear to be promising as alternative drugs against onchocerciasis but support to researches in immunology and genomics should also be increased to develop new control tools, including both vaccines and macrofilaricidal drugs.},
