Simulium larvae susceptibility to temephos and the effect of 10 weeks of treatment of the Mbende tributary in the Nkam-Wouri River drainage of Cameroon on larval density and adult fly biting rates

Simulium larvae susceptibility to temephos and the effect of 10 weeks of treatment of the Mbende tributary in the Nkam-Wouri River drainage of Cameroon on larval density and adult fly biting rates

Abstract Background Despite over 18 years of annual ivermectin mass drug administration (MDA) in Cameroon’s Nkam-Wouri River drainage, onchocerciasis transmission persists. Several reasons, including multiple breeding sites and abundant vector populations, contribute to ongoing transmission. High ve...
