Molecular Characterization and Phylogenetic analysis of <i>Wuchereria bancrofti</i> in human blood samples from Malindi and Tana River Delta, endemic regions in Kenya

2019-05-24

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Introduction</h4> Lymphatic filariasis is a debilitating disease caused by filarial worms; Wuchereria bancrofti, Brugia Malayi and B. Timori . It is earmarked for elimination by the year 2020 through the Global Program for the Elimination of Lymphatic Filariasis (GPELF). In Kenya, mass treatment has been ongoing since the year 2002 though it has not been consistent as recommended by World health organizatio...
