A guide to the <i>Simulium damnosum</i> complex (Diptera: Simuliidae) in Nigeria, with a cytotaxonomic key for the identification of the sibling species

1 Jun 2011

Abstract excerpt

Although approximately 40% of all the people blinded by Onchocerca volvulus are Nigerians, almost nothing was known about the various cytospecies of the blackfly vectors present in Nigeria until 1981. The activation of the Nigerian National Onchocerciasis Control Programme in 1986 (and that programme's initiation of mass distributions of ivermectin in 1991) provided a significant stimulus to understand the...
