ABSTRACT
In West Africa Simuliumdamnosum complex members are the main vectors of
onchocerciasis. The objective of this paper was to collect data on the presence and
spatial distribution of black flies in two provinces of Angola. The research work was conducted in Huambo and Bié provinces where 24 water bodies were sampled
between July and August 2015. All the studied sites were located above 1 000 m of
altitude and only three of them were found to be negative for the presence of black
flies. These were the first results obtained on the presence and spatial distribution
of Simulium sp. in Angola and are of great importance because overlapping the
distribution maps of human infection and of vectors allows finding the areas at risk
of transmission.
