Factors associated with the periodicity of Loa loa microfilaremia in the Republic of the Congo

2022-09-06

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background: </h4> Loa loa microfilariae circulate in the peripheral blood of human hosts following a diurnal periodicity, with maximal microfilaremia levels generally observed between 10:00 am and 3:00 pm. Few studies have assessed factors potentially associated with this periodicity. <h4>Methods: </h4> Microfilaremia data were collected repeatedly between 9:00 am and 8:00 pm from 13 individuals in the Republi...
