摘要：

In 1985, the Edna McConnell Clark Foundation initiated a 15-year program to support immunologic and molecular biology approaches to onchocerciasis research. This research extended the previous support provided by the Edna McConnell Clark Foundation towards a vaccine for schistosomiasis and initiated research that would have direct relevance to >2 billion people infected with filaria or other parasitic helminthes. This report describes the strategy and structuring of this program, and introduces a series of articles highlighting recent scientific achievements towards a vaccine for onchocerciasis.
