Rapid Molecular Assays for Specific Detection and Quantitation of Loa loa Microfilaremia

30 Aug 2011

Abstract excerpt

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 living in areas co-endemic for multiple filarial species. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: From a pool of over 1,800 L....
