Research Materials

We are all aware of the difficulty and expense involved in obtaining live worms for onchocerciasis research so, the list below is intended to help organize the available materials that will be useful to the community. The items contained in the lists were gathered either from the Greene Sheets, published papers, or by individual submissions. If you notice any omissions or would like to add your favorite library, antigen, etc. please e-mail me (vvouille@math.smith.edu).

• Table I of Characterized Onchocerca Antigens (1990)

• Table II of Characterized Onchocerca Antigens(1997)
