Infestation with or disease caused by worms of the filarial genus Onchocerca; spec. a disease of humans caused by O. volvulus and transmitted by biting flies of the genus Simulium, which is common in tropical Africa and parts of tropical America and is marked by characteristic lesions of subcutaneous tissue and the eyes, often causing blindness (also called river blindness).
