A cross-sectional study of Simulium damnosum s.l. breeding sites and species distribution in sudan savanna, mixed savanna-forest and rainforest regions in Cameroon
Abstract:Background: The presence of breeding sites and distribution of species of Simulium damnosum s.l are critical in understanding the epidemiology of onchocerciasis and evaluating the impact of elimination interventions. Reports on breeding sites and species distribution of members of S. damnosum s.l in Cameroon are scarce and the few available date back to more than 3 decades. The aim of this study is to provide information on S. damnosum breeding sites across the rainy (RS) and dry (DS) seasons and the species c… Show more
