Abstract
Since the end of the OCP in December 2002,
there has been no updated entomological data on the situation of onchocerciasis
in Côte d'Ivoire, specifically in Kafolo in the Tchologo region. The objective
of this study is to identify the species of black flies present in Kafolo in
the Tchologo region of Côte d'Ivoire. Sampling was carried out by prospecting
pre-imaginal habitats and capturing adult black flies using human bait from
January to December 2019. The sampling frequency was one outing per month. The
results of this study showed that the pre-imaginal black fly population
consisted mainly of S damnosum sl, while adult black flies were mainly savannah
species rather than forest species.
