A murine macrofilaricide pre-clinical screening model for onchocerciasis and lymphatic filariasis

Parasites & Vectors, 2014
Background New drugs effective against adult filariae (macrofilaricides) would accelerate the elimination of lymphatic filariasis and onchocerciasis. Anti-Onchocerca drug development is hampered by the lack of a facile model. We postulated that SCID mice
