Table 8.
Comparison between pre-control and post-control monthly biting rates, infective rates and monthly transmission potentials at different sites in the study area
Drainage basin | Capture site | Monthly biting rate (MBR) pre-control | Monthly biting rate (MBR) after 12 yrs of treatment | Infective rate (%) pre-control | Infective rate (%) after 12 yrs of treatment | Infection rate (%) pre-control | Infection rate (%) after 12 yrs of treatment | MTP pre-control | MTP after 12 yrs of treatment | Authors of pre-control data |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Mungo/Meme (South of South-West) | Bolo | 11122 | 12636 | 3.1 | 2.7 | 12.8 | 8.3 | 570 | 282 | Enyong et al., 2006 [37] |
Bakumba | 9374 | 24408 | 3.2 | 6.0 | 7.5 | 10.8 | 266 | 1180 | Moyou et al., 1993 [36] and Enyong et al., 2006 [37] |
NB: Only communities with pre-control data were presented in this table.
MBR (Flies/man/month) = Monthly biting rate.
MTP (L3/man/month) = Monthly transmission potential.
