Identification of the onchocerciasis vector in the Kakoi-Koda focus of the Democratic Republic of Congo

2022-07-25

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> The objective of this study was to characterise the vector in a small hyper-endemic focus of onchocerciasis (the Kakoi-Koda focus) which has recently been discovered on the western slopes of the rift valley above Lake Albert. <h4>Methodology/Principal Findings</h4> Aquatic stages of blackflies were collected by hand from streams and rivers, and anthropophilic adult females were collected by h...
