Development of < i > Onchocerca volvulus < /i > in humanized NSG mice and detection of parasite biomarkers in urine and serum

Conclusions/SignificanceThe newly identified mouse models for onchocerciasis will enable the development ofO.volvulus specific biomarkers, screening for new therapeutic approaches and potentially studying the human immune response to infection withO.volvulus.
