In this paper, a mathematical model to study the
dynamics of River Blindness is presented. The
existence and uniqueness of solutions of the
model were examined by actual solution. The
effective reproduction number was obtained using
the next generation matrix. The Disease Free
Equilibrium (DFE) State was obtained and
analysed for stability. It was found that, the DFE
State is Locally Asymptotically Stable (LAS) if the
effective
