盘尾丝虫病是一种广泛存在于热带非洲，特别是沃尔特盆地的地方病。这种丝虫病可引起严重的病理性疾病，特别是不可逆的眼部病变，甚至完全失明。我们无意减轻这一地方病的严重性，也无意批评1974年在沃尔特盆地开始的控制其媒介-毁灭拟步行虫的运动。与此同时，如果认为这种地方病的存在是造成非洲这一地区山谷中无人居住的唯一原因，那就错了，因为经过研究，这不是唯一的原因。本文通过对处理山谷聚落的不同方法的综述，包括最近奥斯通地理学家的研究，试图对这一问题提出一个清晰的图景，同时等待进一步的研究工作的结果。
Onchocerciasis is an endemic disease widely established in tropical Africa, especially in the Volta basin. This filariasis may cause serious pathological diseases, in particular irreversible ocular lesions, and even complete blindness. It is not our intention to diminish the gravity of this endemic disease, nor to criticise the campaign to control its vector, Simulium damnosum, which started in the Volta basin in 1974. At the same time, it would be wrong to consider that the presence of this endemic disease is alone responsible for the absence of human life in the valleys of this region of Africa given that, on examination, this is not the only cause. Through a survey of the different approaches dealing with the settlement of the valleys, including recent studies of ORSTOM geographers, this article tries to present a clear picture of the problem, while awaiting results of further resarch work.
