| Abstract: | The present study was designed to assess the health risk of the future hydroelectric dam at Memve’ele with reference to vector-borne diseases. Entomological and malacological surveys were carried out in the project area. The main vectors collected were Anopheles gambiae and A. nili for malaria; Simulium damnosum for onchocerciasis; Glossina palpalis for trypanosomiasis; Chrysops dimidiatus and C. silacea for loasis. No snail host of schistosomes was reported. The risk of introduction of the diseases is discussed. |
