Riverblindness?:

Onchocerciasis (Riverblindness) is a disease that causes great physical and social anguish in communities and if not controlled will lead to blindness in a large number of people.

Transmission:

The disease is transmitted by the bit of the black fly, but this transmission can be arrested through the annual mass distribution of a powerful drug called Mectizan®, which is donated free by Merck pharmaceuticals
