Abstract excerpt

In West Africa, Onchocerca volvulus, the cause of human onchocerciasis, is transmitted by sibling species of the Simulium damnosum complex. Little is known about blackfly intraspecific variability and its consequences on vectorial capacity. This study reports the use of microsatellite markers for differentiating populations of S. damnosum s.l. Five microsatellite loci were characterized and used to analyze...
