Out of 210 respondents, 16.7% presented with nodules, indicating the presence of Onchocerciasis-related infection within the study population, while 83.3% showed no nodules.
Despite the presence of nodules, 0% blindness was recorded, suggesting that severe disease outcomes may not yet be widespread or are not captured within this dataset.
Although 69% of respondents are aware of Onchocerciasis, many hold incorrect knowledge about its causes, indicating a gap between awareness and accurate understanding.
All surveyed communities (100%) are located near river bodies, and blackflies are present in some areas, indicating that environmental conditions for transmission exist within the study area.
There is 0% ivermectin usage among respondents, and 83.8% reported that their area is not covered by intervention programs, highlighting a major gap in disease control efforts.
The combination of nodule presence (16.7%), lack of ivermectin usage (0%), and limited intervention coverage (83.8%) suggests a risk of continued transmission and potential progression to more severe disease outcomes if no action is taken.
