Genetic Diversity and Emerging Zoonotic Onchocerca Species in Human Populations in Taraba State, Nigeria

2021-01-29

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background: </h4> A better understanding of parasite population genetic processes in specific biogeography is needed to support onchocerciasis elimination goals. The genetic diversity of Onchocerca microfilariae was explored by amplifying a fragment of the 16S rRNA gene in the endemic area in Taraba State, Nigeria, <h4>Methods: </h4>: Eight (8) communities were selected including six onchocerciasis endemic com...
