O. volvulus. This is the causal organism of human onchocerciasis, which is a disease of the skin and eyes. This disease affects between 20 and 40 million people in the world, frequently causing blindness and skin pathology. The tropical zones most affected are Africa, Guatemala and Mexico. A mild form of the disease threatens to spread in tropical South America. The microfilariae circulate in the peripheral blood day and night. Many mosquitoes, such as Culex, Anopheles, Mansonia, Aedes, and Simulium Spp., are vectors for this and other types of filariasis.

Inflammation is likely one of the major driving forces of the skin pathology caused by SM exposure. The contribution of cytokines to the inflammatory events is well established and their signaling pathways are important targets of medical intervention for potential coxmtermea-sures of vesicant injury. The literature linking inflammation and wounding is so extensive as to fill a book by itself. This section therefore only presents an overview...
