Identification and characterisation <i>of Mansonella perstans</i> in the Volta Region of Ghana

2023-11-16

Abstract excerpt

Mansonella spp . have been reported to have a wide global distribution. Despite the distribution and occurrence with other filarial parasites like Wuchereria bancrofti, Onchocerca volvulus and Lao loa , it is given little attention. Hence, there is no surveillance programme for assessing the distribution or mansonellosis, with mild to no symptoms experienced by infected people. However, addressing this infection...
