摘要: Background Human onchocerciasis is a neglected tropical parasitic disease caused by Onchocerca volvulus (O. volvulus) that may result in devastating skin and eye morbidity. Even though the targeted for elimination, there was little or no information on level of endemicity implementation community directed treatment with ivermectin (CDTI) current study area. Thus, this aimed at investigating epidemiology awareness towards among communities living close to CDTI area, Jimma Zone, southwestern Ethiopia.
