Targeting a highly repetitive genomic sequence for sensitive and specific molecular detection of the filarial parasite <i>Mansonella perstans</i> from human blood and mosquitoes

2022-06-30

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> Mansonella perstans is among the most neglected of the neglected tropical diseases, and is believed to cause more human infections than any other filarial pathogen in Africa. Based largely upon assumptions of limited infection-associated morbidity, this pathogen remains understudied, and many basic questions pertaining to its pathogenicity, distribution, prevalence, and vector-host relationship...
