Understanding the relationship between prevalence of microfilariae and antigenaemia using a model of lymphatic filariasis infection
Background: Lymphatic filariasis is a debilitating neglected tropical disease that affects impoverished communities. Rapid diagnostic tests of antigenaemia are a practical alternative to parasitological tests of microfilaraemia for mapping and surveillance. However the relationship between these two...
