A guide to the Simulium damnosum complex (Diptera: Simuliidae) in Nigeria, with a cytotaxonomic key for the identification of the sibling species.

, 2011
<title/> Although approximately 40% of all the people blinded by Onchocerca volvulus are Nigerians, almost nothing was known about the various cytospecies of the blackfly vectors present in Nigeria until 1981.

Molecular systematics of the Simuliidae (Diptera: Culicomorpha)

, 1997
Relationships within Simuliidae, or black flies, are inferred from molecular sequences from four nuclear loci -the large ribosomal subunit (28S rDNA), elongation factor one alpha (EF-1α), dopa decarboxylase (DDC), and phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase ...

Comparing species accumulation within taxonomically well‐ and poorly resolved insect groups over 37 years

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Here, we used a unique 37‐year (1969–2006) freshwater macroinvertebrate time‐series, collected over seven sites in central Germany, to study biodiversity patterns and species accumulation over time. Accumulation curves of Diptera diversity have not reached a plateau in 37 years of sampling.

An 18S ribosomal DNA barcode for the study of Isomermis lairdi, a parasite of the blackfly Simulium damnosum s.l.

, 2009
The mermithid parasite, Isomermis lairdi Mondet, Poinar & Bernadou (Nematoda: Mermithidae), is known to have a major impact on populations of Simulium damnosum s.l. Theobald (Diptera: Simuliidae) and on their efficiency as vectors of Onchocerca volvulus (
