ENTOMOLOGICAL EVALUATION BY POOL SCREEN POLYMERASE CHAIN REACTION OF ONCHOCERCA VOLVULUS TRANSMISSION IN ECUADOR FOLLOWING MASS MECTIZAN™ DISTRIBUTION

2003-02-01

Abstract excerpt

The prevalence of infected and infective black flies was estimated by pool screen polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification in the three river basins in Ecuador endemic for onchocerciasis. Mass distribution of ivermectin (Mectizan™) resulted in dramatic declines in the prevalence of infected and infective flies. In the Rio Santiago river basin, no infections were detected, suggesting that transmission had ceas...
