Background: Oocyte development was studied in the autogenous black fly, Simulium vittatum (Diptera, Nematocera), a vector of Onchocerca volvulus, the causative agent of onchocerciasis.
Results: Oocyte growth was nearly linear between adult eclosion and was complete by 72 hours at 21 degrees C. The oocyte became opaque at 14 hours after eclosion indicating the initiation of protein yolk deposition.
