Editor’s summary
As the African Programme for Onchocerciasis Control embarks on continental elimination, knowledge of vector distribution is essential. We review stability and change of Simulium damnosum s.l. cytospecies in southern Ghana over the last 40 years and provide a database of existing records to date. Image: Inversion IS-21, diagnostic of the extinct Djodji form of Simulium sanctipauli.

Editor’s summary
A sound contribution to our understanding about community perceptions of a malaria vaccine in the Brong-Ahafo Region of Ghana. The study results are of significant interest to the scientific community as our knowledge on acceptance/rejection of malaria vaccines is limited to date. Furthermore, the data on the role of religious leaders in promoting health-seeking behaviour and participation in vaccination initiatives like EPI is highly relevant for policy makers in the light of earlier vaccination controversies in West Africa and elsewhere.
