This disease affects mainly the eyes & skin. It's caused by worms transmitted through the bite of infected black flies.

The black fly which causes onchocerciasis breeds mainly in fast-flowing rivers & streams.
This happens mainly in remote villages in the tropics located near fertile lands where people rely heavily on farming or herding.

#Fieldwork yesterday & today yielded several highlights:
A dozen blue spotted #salamander #larvae , plus one dead in a trap (with a massive belastomatid insect [aka "toe biter"]).
These larvae are part of a student's project, which he'll be presenting @MWPARC this August!

Plus metamorphosing or recently metamorphosed #amphibians of a few different species! (It's that time of the year in central #Minnesota )
In some spots the ground was littered with tiny wood #frog (Lithobates sylvaticus) metamorphs. You can see this one's remaining tail nubbin.

And right as I was reminding us to "keep an eye out for metamorphosing #toads" I came across this American toadlet (Anaxyrus americanus)
