A Simple Isothermal DNA Amplification Method to Screen Black Flies for Onchocerca volvulus Infection
Onchocerciasis is a debilitating neglected tropical disease caused by infection with the filarial parasite Onchocerca volvulus. Adult worms live in subcutaneous tissues and produce large numbers of microfilariae that migrate to the skin and eyes. The disease is spread by black flies of the genus Sim...
