Entomological patterns in the human African trypanosomiasis focus of Komo Mondah, Gabon
Journal Title: African Health Sciences - Year , Vol 10, Issue 4
Abstract
The incidence of sleeping sickness is still considerable in the Komo Mondah focus, in spite of case-detection strategy. A combined strategy that associated both mass screening and vector control is effective for the control of the disease. In the perspective of a targeted vector control in main transmission sites, we have carried out an entomological survey in the epicentre of the focus.
