盘尾丝虫病

盘尾丝虫病控制规划史为我们提供了另一个很好的例子。

The history of the onchocerciasis control programme provides another instructive example .

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。

来自爱尔兰的Campbell和日本教授大村智因研制一种新型药材而获奖。这种名为“阿维菌素”的药材可用来对抗河盲（盘尾丝虫病）和淋巴丝虫病，并在对抗其他寄生虫病上效果显著。

Irish-born Campbell and Japanese Omura won half of the prize for discovering a new drug , avermectin , that has helped the battle against river blindness and lymphatic filariasis , as well as showing effectiveness against other parasitic diseases .

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 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 .
