Ov150 rt-PCR (Poolscreen) testing of Simulium damnosum s.l. black flies collected at sentinel catch points in northern and central Togo in 2015.

Each pool consists of 25 blackflies and is listed with the total number of tested flies by catch point, and the number of Ov150-positive pools. The prevalence (in % with 95% confidence intervals) of O. volvulus in S. damnosum s.l. is calculated according to Katholi et al. 1995 [16]. Fisher’s exact test was applied to evaluate differences in infection rates between pools.
