A clinical trial is being launched in three African countries of a drug that could eliminate onchocerciasis, or river blindness, one of the leading infectious causes of blindness across Africa.

The findings suggest that it could be possible to develop a vaccine that protects people against river blindness using a similar approach, though the scientists point out that more research is needed.

这项发现表明，用类似的手段或许可能开发出人用盘尾丝虫病疫苗，不过科学家指出这还需要进行更多的研究。

The campaign to eliminate river blindness began as the most vertical programme imaginable: helicopters dropping insecticides out of the sky.

根除河盲症运动开始时是可以想象的最纵向的规划：直升飞机从空中投撒杀虫剂。

The current treatment for river blindness is the drug ivermectin, which kills larval parasites but not the adult worms.

目前治疗盘尾丝虫病的手段是使用一种叫做伊维菌素（ivermectin）的药物，它杀死幼虫，但是对成虫无效。

Another one is called trachoma, or river blindness.

另外一种疾病是沙眼，也叫做河盲。

For example, the river blindness control programme began as a vertical programme, but eventually developed the community-directed approach for drug distribution.

例如，河盲症控制规划一开始是纵向规划，但最后发展成为以社区为方向的药物分配办法。

To analyze the effect of wearing a red tinted contact lens ( the X Chrom lens) for chromatic discrimination in red green color blindness. Lack of the chlorolabe pigment in the retinal cone cells results in inability to discriminate green colors, or deuteranopia.

目的：探讨红绿色盲患者戴色盲角膜接触镜后辨色力的改变状况和色盲角膜接触镜的实用性。在视网膜锥形细胞中缺乏感绿色素，便导致了对绿色辩别无力或绿色盲。

Color recognition: no red and green color blindness;

辨色力：无红绿色盲；

Conclusion ( 1) it is feasible to use chromatic VEP for examining congenital color vision deficient, especially for red green blindness and deuteranopia.

结论（1）颜色视觉诱发电位客观地检查先天性色觉异常是可行的，对红绿色盲和绿色盲尤为敏感。
