The laboratory maintenance and rearing of Stimulium damnosum complex species and the cytotaxonomic determination of reared larvae, has been useful to OCP in the following fields of investigation: 1. Species identification of reinvading females. 2. Distribution of biting populations of S. damnosum complex species. 3. Identification of eggs and small larvae found within the OCP area. 4. Host preferences of species within the complex. 5. Vector potential of S. damnosum complex species for Onchocerca volvulus and O. ochengi. 6. Provision of identified material for morphological investigation. The technique of indirect adult identification using reared larvae, may eventually by largely superseded by progress in morphological taxonomy.
恶蚋复合体物种的实验室饲养及所饲养幼虫的细胞分类学鉴定，在以下研究领域对盘尾丝虫病控制计划（OCP）很有用：1. 再侵袭雌虫的物种鉴定。2. 恶蚋复合体物种叮咬种群的分布。3. 在盘尾丝虫病控制计划区域内发现的虫卵和小幼虫的鉴定。4. 该复合体物种的宿主偏好。5. 恶蚋复合体物种作为旋盘尾丝虫和奥氏盘尾丝虫病媒介的潜能。6. 为形态学研究提供已鉴定材料。利用所饲养幼虫进行间接成虫鉴定的技术，最终可能会因形态分类学的进展而在很大程度上被取代。
