The article discusses the potential causal role of onchocerciasis, a parasitic disease, in the occurrence of Nodding Syndrome (NS) and other epilepsies that are associated with onchocerciasis. The authors acknowledge the strong epidemiological link between onchocerciasis and NS but highlight uncertainties in establishing a definitive causal relationship. They suggest that other factors, such as nutritional status and genetic factors, may also contribute to the occurrence of NS. The article emphasizes the need for further research to better understand the role of onchocerciasis in NS and to avoid oversimplifying onchocerciasis as the sole cause of NS.
