Longitudinal study of cross-reactive antigenemia in individuals with high Loa loa microfilarial density reveals promising biomarkers for distinguishing lymphatic filariasis from loiasis

Background and methodsCirculating Loa loa antigens are often detected in individuals with heavy L. loa infections by diagnostic tests for lymphatic filariasis (LF) caused by Wuchereria bancrofti. This is a major challenge to LF mapping and elimination efforts in loiasis co-endemic areas. However, it...
