Rapid Molecular Assays for Specific Detection and Quantitation of Loa loa Microfilaremia
BACKGROUND: Accurate diagnosis of Loa loa infection is essential to the success of mass drug administration efforts to eliminate onchocerciasis and lymphatic filariasis, due to the risk of fatal encephalopathic reactions to ivermectin occurring among highly microfilaremic Loa-infected individuals li...
