Un seul cas de T. streptocerca a été mis en évidence par l’examen de 783 personnes au sud de la Côte-d’Ivoire, tandis que l’absence du parasite chez 1 559 habitants de la région des plateaux togolais conduit à la conclusion que la transmission locale de cette filaire ne dépasse pas au Togo la latitude 6° Nord.
Abstract
A single case of T. streptocerca was identified through the examination of 783 people in Southern Ivory-Coast, whereas the absence of the parasite among 1.559 people living in the plateaux area in Togo suggests that local transmission of the filaria does not occur in that country north of the 6°.
