[Control of arthropod vectors of human diseases in intertropical Africa: its importance (author's transl)].

Intertropical Africa is the first area in the world for the frequency of arthropod born human diseases, such as malaria, trypanosomiasis, viral infections (f.i.yellow fever), various filariasis and chiefly onchocerciasis. Control of arthropod vectors is very important indeed in this area. It requires a closed collaboration between entomologists, biologists, hygienists and tropical physicians. Chemical control is still preponderant but it must be associated, as often as possible, with physical, biological and genetic means of control.
