Onchocerciasis transmission in Ghana: the human blood index of sibling species of the Simulium damnosum complex
BACKGROUND: Vector-biting behaviour is important for vector-borne disease (VBD) epidemiology. The proportion of blood meals taken on humans (the human blood index, HBI), is a component of the biting rate per vector on humans in VBD transmission models. Humans are the definitive host of Onchocerca vo...
