Determining the Prevalence of Onchocerca volvulus Infection in Vector Populations by Polymerase Chain Reaction Screening of Pools of Black Flies

1 Nov 1995

Abstract excerpt

An important variable in the epidemiology of arthropodborne diseases is the intensity of transmission, which is a function of host-vector contact and the prevalence of infection in the vector population. This latter value is often difficult to estimate. It is possible to envision the application of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assays to this problem. To accomplish this, the assay must detect a single infected...
