Onchocerciasis control efforts thus brought the prevalence of <i>O. volvulus</i> to a level where the disease was no longer a public health problem in 2002. A resurgence of onchocerciasis cases has been observed in two regions (Cascades and the Southwest) located around several river basins in 2010-2011. In accordance with WHO guidelines for the management of resurgent cases, community-directed treatment with ivermectin (CDTI) was implemented in the affected areas.
