Improving onchocerciasis elimination surveillance: trials of odour baited Esperanza Window Traps to collect black fly vectors and real-time qPCR detection of Onchocerca volvulus in black fly pools
2024-04-09
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Background: </h4> Entomological data for onchocerciasis surveillance relies on sampling blackflies through human landing collectors in the field and laboratory testing of the flies for infection using pool screening O-150 PCR-ELISA assay. Both techniques require improvements. This study sought to take promising Esperanza Window Traps (EWT) for blackfly collections and test and optimize them to find alternative...
