[Onchocerciasis in the Brazzaville region (Congo). Preliminary note]

The authors give the results of a global and rapid study, using a simple methodology, of a suburban onchocerciasis focus located in the vicinity of Brazzaville. It follows, from the entomological, parasitological and clinical data, that the transmission is high inside this focus and therefore, it seems necessary to take, all measures in order to eradicate the focus.
