Vector competence and filariasis transmission in Mali

2016-01-01

Abstract excerpt

Lymphatic filariasis (LF) is a public health problem in 73 countries and is associated with marked morbidity and disability. It is unique because of its transmission by five main genera of mosquitoes, including Culex, Aedes, Anopheles, Mansonia and Ochlerotatus. In Mali, LF endemicity mapping in 2004 found all eight administrative regions to be endemic for LF. Prior to the National LF Elimination Programme (NPELF)...
