Discrimination between <i>Onchocerca volvulus</i> and <i>O. ochengi</i> filarial larvae in <i>Simulium damnosum</i> ( <i>s.l.</i> ) and their distribution throughout central Ghana using a versatile high-resolution speciation assay

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> Genetic surveillance of the human filarial parasite, Onchocerca volvulus , from onchocerciasis endemic regions will ideally focus on genotyping individual infective larval stages collected from their intermediate host, Simuliid blackflies. However, blackflies also transmit other Onchocerca species, including the cattle parasite O. ochengi , which are difficult to distinguish from the human...
