Assessment of Leptoconops bequaerti as a potential vector of Mansonella ozzardi in Haiti.

Experimental studies in Bayeux, Haiti showed that the biting midge, Leptoconops bequaerti, is capable of supporting the complete development of Mansonella ozzardi but only on a very limited scale. This suggests that the species may not be involved in the natural transmission cycle despite its abundance and pestiferous nature in certain areas of Haiti. A midge-holding container is described which markedly enhanced the survival of engorged L. bequaerti in the laboratory.
