Human occult loiasis: improvement in diagnostic sensitivity by the use of a nested polymerase chain reaction.
1 Jul 1998
Abstract excerpt
The development of control strategies for loiasis is of crucial importance in endemic areas and depends heavily on the accurate identification of occult-infected individuals. A polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and nested polymerase chain reaction (nested PCR) were developed and based on sequences of the repeat 3 region (15r3) of the gene encoding a Loa loa 15-kD protein. The assays was performed on 20 blood...
