The purpose of this paper is to bring together all the available information concerning the control of Simulium vectors of onchocerciasis in Africa and Central and South America.Some of the larger control schemes are described in detail. Insecticidal formulations, rates of dosage, and methods of application are given when available, and costs per square mile (or square kilometre) are quoted where possible as a guide to future operations.The efficacy of ground application (larviciding) as compared with aerial application (larviciding and adulticiding) is discussed and it is concluded that ground larviciding is likely to achieve the best results, at less cost, in onchocercal foci where the vectors usually breed in small, densely wooded streams.Data in connexion with fly densities, prior and subsequent to control schemes, are quoted when available.
本文旨在汇总有关非洲以及中美洲和南美洲盘尾丝虫病蚋传播媒介控制的所有现有信息。详细描述了一些较大规模的控制方案。如有可用信息，会给出杀虫制剂、剂量率和施用方法，并尽可能列出每平方英里（或平方公里）的成本，为未来行动提供参考。文中讨论了地面施药（杀幼虫）与空中施药（杀幼虫和杀成虫）的效果，得出的结论是，在传播媒介通常在小型、树木茂密的溪流中繁殖的盘尾丝虫病疫源地，地面杀幼虫可能以较低成本取得最佳效果。如有可用数据，会引用控制方案实施前后的苍蝇密度数据。
