ISSN/ISBN: 0066-6769 PMID: 7425779 Document Number: 155971
Aspects of the biology of simulid vectors that directly affect their capacity to transmit Onchocerca are considered with the aid of mathematical formulae. The position is complicated by the occurrence of non-onchocercal filariae in the vectors.
