First the authors make short comments on the two Simuliidae species complexes vectors of African human onchocerciasis (S. damnosum s.l. and S. neavei), as well as on the reasons for renewed interest in the control of those vectors; then they review the various possible methods of control (ecological, biological, genetical and chemical methods) and they finally detail the methodology of anti-S. damnosum chemical larviciding which is the only kind or large scale control presently used against onchocerciasis vectors. The experiences and results of the previous campaigns resulted in the large Onchocerciasis Control Programme in Volta River Basin (O.C.P.) which now appears as a model for present and future control measures against S. damnosum. This Programme is briefly described, together with its results, problems (reinvasion) and orientations. As a conclusion, the excellent level of control of the vectors and onchocerciasis transmission which is obtained is emphasized and it is expected that in the future new large scale campaigns using O.C.P. experience may be initiated.
首先，作者对非洲人类盘尾丝虫病的两种蚋属物种复合体传播媒介（指名亚种黑蝇和纳氏黑蝇）以及重新关注这些传播媒介控制的原因进行了简短评论；然后，他们回顾了各种可能的控制方法（生态、生物、遗传和化学方法），最后详细阐述了针对指名亚种黑蝇的化学杀幼虫方法，这是目前用于盘尾丝虫病传播媒介大规模控制的唯一方法。先前防治运动的经验和成果促成了现在被视为当前和未来针对指名亚种黑蝇控制措施典范的沃尔特河流域盘尾丝虫病控制计划（OCP）。本文简要介绍了该计划及其成果、问题（再次侵袭）和发展方向。最后强调了在控制传播媒介和盘尾丝虫病传播方面所取得的卓越成效，并期望未来可以借鉴OCP的经验开展新的大规模防治运动。
