Heterogeneity in the in vitro susceptibility of Loa loa microfilariae to drugs commonly used in parasitological infections
BACKGROUND: Co-infection with loiasis remains a potential problem in control programs targeting filarial infections. The effects of many anti-parasitic drugs often administered to Loa loa infected people are not well documented. This study compared the in vitro activity of several of these drugs on...
