Detailed epidemiological mapping of eight river basins was conducted in four West African countries as part of an effort to identify the communities at risk of onchocercal blindness to guide a programme of large scale ivermectin distribution, attempting control of eye disease. The results show a surprising variability of pattern in the geographical distribution of intensity of onchocerciasis infections in the communities of the river basins investigated. These patterns were at time very different from what was expected on the basis of the available entomological and demographic information. The technique of detailed mapping proved very useful in achieving an excellent coverage of the communities at risk of onchocercal blindness where, so far, satisfactory treatment coverage has been attained for four consecutive yearly treatments.
