摘要: Detailed epidemiological mapping of three isolated foci hyperendemic blinding onchocerciasis was undertaken in West African countries as part community trials ivermectin, a new microfilaricide for the treatment human onchocerciasis. The results show that geographical distribution prevalence and intensity infection can be very different from what expected on basis demographic entomological information. technique detailed is an important tool identification target populations large scale ivermectin It being used extensively Onchocerciasis Control Programme Africa.
