Active case detection in health centres and epidemiological surveys made it possible to determine the extent of onchocerciasis endemic regions in Burundi. The largest endemic region, in the north-west of the country, covers almost totally the province of Cibitoke and partially the adjoining province of Bubanza. The population at risk is 330,000. The endemic region in the south-west of Burundi covers more than one third of the province of Bururi and has 230,000 people at risk. The smallest endemic region is in the province of Rutana (south-east), where 52,000 people live.
在卫生中心开展的主动病例检测和流行病学调查使确定布隆迪盘尾丝虫病流行区的范围成为可能。该国西北部最大的流行区几乎完全覆盖锡比托凯省，部分覆盖毗邻的布班扎省。高危人群有33万。布隆迪西南部的流行区覆盖了布鲁里省三分之一以上的地区，有23万高危人群。最小的流行区位于鲁塔纳省（东南部），有5.2万人居住。
