Molecular surveillance detects high prevalence of the neglected parasite<i>Mansonella ozzardi</i>in the Colombian Amazon

2023-05-11

Abstract excerpt

Mansonellosis is an undermapped insect-transmitted disease caused by filarial nematodes that are estimated to infect hundreds of millions of people globally. Despite their prevalence, there are many outstanding questions regarding the general biology and health impacts of the responsible parasites. Historical reports suggest that the Colombian Amazon is endemic for mansonellosis and may serve as an ideal location...
