Monthly Infective Biting Rates (MIBRs) of host-seeking blackflies by locality, season, trapping technique and species.

V/C = vector collector.The values for V/C and Human-tent indicate infective bites per person per month; the values for Cow-tent are infective bites per cow per month; the values for Host-seeking are the average values per host per month.Although flies harbouring O. volvulus were caught at both Asubende and Asukawkaw Ferry, the infected/infective S. damnosum s.s./S. sirbanum fly at Asubende was ovipositing and not host-seeking and therefore does not contribute to MIBR; the S. soubrense Beffa form fly at Asukawkaw Ferry was infected but not infective.Monthly Infective Biting Rates (MIBRs) of host-seeking blackflies by locality, season, trapping technique and species.
