The common name for Onchocerca volvulus is river blindness. This parasitic worm causes a condition known as onchocerciasis, which can lead to severe itching, skin lesions, and vision impairment, ultimately resulting in blindness. The disease is primarily transmitted through the bites of infected blackflies found near rivers and streams.

Volvulus is the abnormal twisting of the intestines.
The term volvulus means twisted bowels. It is a very dangerous condition.
The volvulus is treated on two different fronts medically. First a patient with many of the forms of volvulus complications are given pain medication such as morphine, and than surgery would be done to repair the volvulus.
Volvulus is a twisting, while intussusception is a telescope-like collapse of the bowel into intself.
Yes, certain black flies can cause blindness, particularly through the transmission of diseases. One notable example is the black fly species that transmits the parasite Onchocerca volvulus, which causes river blindness (onchocerciasis). The disease can lead to severe eye damage and, ultimately, blindness if left untreated. Preventative measures and treatment are crucial in affected areas to reduce the risk.

The bowel which includes the small and large intestine. Twisted bowel or volvulus - twisting and abnormal looping of either the small intestine (small bowel volvulus) or the large intestine (colonic volvulus). colonic is split into two types cecal and sigmoid. All usually cause bowel obstruction.
Onchocerciasis, also known as river blindness, is caused by the parasitic worm Onchocerca volvulus. The disease is transmitted to humans through the bites of infected blackflies belonging to the genus Simulium, which breed near fast-flowing rivers. Once inside the human body, the larvae develop into adult worms, leading to various symptoms, including skin irritation and vision impairment. The disease is prevalent in certain tropical regions of Africa, Central America, and Yemen.
