Brief Summary:
Mansonella perstans M perstans infection is widespread in Uganda Knowledge about the epidemiology of this infection and of the morbidity it induces is poor and no effective treatment is available The study aims at providing data on diagnostic epidemiological morbidity and treatment aspects of M perstans infections in Uganda
Detailed Description:
Overall objective to investigate diagnostic epidemiological and treatment aspects of M perstans in Uganda with relevance to control
Specific objectives
1 To establish the pattern of diurnal periodicity of M perstans microfilaraemia in humans
2 To establish the patterns of M perstans microfilaraemia and possible clinical manifestations related to this infection in two communities with medium to high endemicity
3 To determine the efficacy of ivermectin alone and the combination of ivermectin and albendazole on M perstans microfilaraemia
