Abstract

Improvement in communications, unchecked urbanization and use of inadequate insecticides have promoted widespreading and proliferation of C.p. fatigans in tropical Africa. This mosquito is a pest for man but also a main vector of Bancroftian filariasis. Various sanitation measures and insecticidal control are now available to destroy it; these control methods are indicated.
