status of forest onchocerciasis in the lower cross river basin, nigeria: entomologic profile after five years of ivermectin intervention.	in the lower cross river basin in nigeria, no pre-control entomologic profile of onchocerca volvulus infection in the local simulium damnosum population was available prior to the initiation of an ivermectin control program in 1995. a longitudinal entomologic study was therefore carried out over a 12-month period (january-december 2001) at the agbokim waterfalls and afi river, which are breeding sites of s. damnosum in the river basin. a total of 9,287 adult s. damnosum were caught on human bait ...	2005	16103607
population dynamics of onchocerca volvulus microfilariae in human host after six years of drug control.	mass administration of ivermectin drug was carried out annually between 1995 and 2001 in three villages that were endemic for onchocerciasis in the lower cross river basin, nigeria. the aim of this study was to evaluate the population dynamics (dispersion patterns, distribution, prevalence and intensity) of onchocerca volvulus microfilariae in their human host after six years of ivermectin treatment.	2008	18399314
