Published in 2017 at "PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases"

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pntd.0005279

Abstract: Background Wuchereria bancrofti, Brugia malayi and Brugia timori infect over 100 million people worldwide and are the causative agents of lymphatic filariasis. Some parasite carriers are amicrofilaremic whilst others facilitate mosquito-based disease transmission through blood-circulating… read more here.
