Various sources

  1. Onchocerca isolates are broken down by region (Lake County, CA; Los Angeles, CA; and Ithaca, NY) or by the species it is from (O. lupi; Onchocerca sp.). Onchocerca lupi was chosen because it is a North American Onchocerca species that is not considered part of the hypothesized Onchocerca cervipedis species complex
