Long-term corneal inflammation, or keratitis, leads to thickening of the corneal stroma which ultimately leads to blindness. Humans are the only definitive host for O. volvulus. The intermediate host or vector is the black fly (Simulium). O. volvulus, along with most filarial nematodes, share an endosymbiotic relationship with the bacterium Wolbachia. In the absence of Wolbachia, larval development of the O. volvulus is disrupted or ceased.ENA0.00.00.00.00.00falseWolbachia sp. wOV_Ov1Wolbachia Endosymbionts of Onchocerca volvulus2022-05-122015-10-01PRJNA2804371639675
