<i>S. damnosum</i> active breeding was identified along the river Naam in a stretch of 3-5 km close to human settlements. Highest blackfly biting density was 4210.25 flies/month/h, and two fly biting peaks were observed. A community "slash and clear" vector control was implemented, and will be prospectively monitored.
